Sent Mail Disappears

[quote user="Michael D"]

I really did search before asking.

 

I have all my sent mail saved to the "Sent" mail folder.   I sent about 4 emails this morning and they all went, but I went to the sent mail folder and they were not there, I re-indexed the folder and even more emails disappeared.

Where did they go, and can I get them back.  I did search the "Sent" folder using the "Find" button, but they were not there

 

Any help would be nice.

This may be an insultingly dumb set of suggestions, but have you checked the settings

under 'Outgoing Mail' (Tools/Options)/Messages and replies? You couldn't

have somehow set 'copy to self' off, could you? There's another set of parameters under "Copies to self ('outbox')" also.

 

Also if you have a genuine search utility like Ultra File Search (ultrafilesearch.com), and if you remember any specific text you could...

first, using the outside search utility, search the entire Pmail directory for the phrase (UFS lets you do this, and you can put a date restriction on it -- a lot like the Flying Horse's searching, but I seem to remember that with some previous versions (Pegasus & I go way back) UFS would (very occasionally) turn up things the Horse wouldn't. If that doesn't turn up a piece of mail search the Program directory, then keep expanding, to every drive if necessary. (Pmail doesn't stash stuff in any of the (adjective deleted) places Windows think you should put things, does it? But do it anyway--) If you still don't get a hit there are a few possibilities -- you didn't get the phrase quite right, the material has become encrypted somehow (I wouldn't put anything past Win10, it's got claws into everything, and there is also an "encryption" tab in Preferences/Outgoing mail -- comes with warnings, never dared touch it myself--), or??

 BTW, I don't have a "sent mail" folder -- my folder for sent mail is "Copies to Self," which I'm sure is the default name. May be completely irrelevant to your little mystery--

Are there any Folder-Open or Folder-Close filter sets assigned to the Sent messages folder?  Is Autofiltering enabled on the Set messages folder?

If you know unique header content of one of the missing messages then use it to do a search of all folders and see if it shows up in another folder.

No filters.  We did a search and nothing showed up.

In Pegasus Mail menu Tools/Options/Copy to Self  did you change the folder name from Copies to Self to Sent Mail ?
