So my computer was being sluggish, and I decided to restart it. When I logged back into my email, a folder I use for keeping articles was empty, even though it lists 209-odd emails in the drop down and I can find them by searching. What gives? I nearly had a heart attack at first, but at least they don’t seem to be permanently gone.

I appreciate people answering my questions-I’m not intending to use the Dope as my tech support!

Never mind-it seems to have solved itself. Whew! Could a Mod kindly close this?
