Hi,

Please help----- All of my emails since July this year, plus folders and contacts have mysteriously disappeared.  I have lost a significant number of very important work and personal data.  As I am working from home on medical bedrest this is very stressful.

My contacts are also receiving spam emails from my hotmail account such as this message -

"I bought one white  apple iphone 3gs from this website     www.noisyt. com   to my surprise,it's genuine , much cheaper.You can c heck it,Hope everything well.
Kind Regards"

Any advice out there? Otherwise I'll have to close this account very soon.

Cheers

Thanks for the tips.  I've been running McAfee checks almost continuously now for two days and can't seem to find what was the problem...... I'll post in the Contacts forum as you've advised.

Most of my lost folder data reappeared yesterday in my 'Deleted' follder, without the folder classification.  But that was great news!

My email address is {removed email address}

If you are able to recover emails (that are still lost) that were sent and received between 24 July 2009 and 02 November 2009, I would be very grateful.

I was able to recover a lot of messages in your Deleted folder. I’ve already moved them to your Inbox so you can review them properly.
