DO NOT USE BOTH AOL AND OUTLOOK, AT LEAST UNTIL YOU ISOLATE THE PROBLEM.

There's nothing you can do about it, except add your name to everyone else that has asked them to change it. AOL ALWAYS auto-deletes messages from your "New", "Old" or "Sent" tabs. THE GOOD NEWS is that if you solve #2, chances are you can retrieve even "disappeared" messages. ALWAYS USE THE SAME USER PROFILE ON THE SAME MACHINE. read or not!Ģ)Outlook will read messages but not store them locally UNLESS you configure it to do so.ģ)Outlook will auto-archive messages and delete them (well actually move them).Ĥ)Outlook will store messages (and auto-archive them) to a file specific to the USER PROFILE being used. Postings to your message are touching on some of it.ġ)AOL auto-deletes messages after a few days. There are at least FOUR issues combining to cause your "Random" disappearance. Also, you MUST be using Outlook on the same machine every time. NOTE: This applies to Outlook (specifically tested on Outlook 2003), NOT Outlook Express. I joined the forum to attempt to help with this issue.
