HELP lost all emails, set up outlook express account?

• my mum set up an poutlook express accounnt for me and forgot to tick the box to leave a copy of the messages on the server, I stoped the download (athough it had already finished) its only downloded 174 messages all for this month, Now when I go onto my yahoo ac its only showing 2 messages in my inbox, there should a couple of thousand going back years. Some of these are very important legal documents relating to the news papaer and re possession notices etc. It is so important that I get these back!!! if they havnt been downloaded onto my outlook and there no longer in my yahoo account! where are they???? Im desperate, PLEASE help. thanks

• Answer:

  have you tried looking in the trash folder as there is copies in there,they get deleated every now and then,or you could try system restore back to a date before your changes,i am not very good with computers,sorry 2 hear of youre loss hope you sort it....
