Vanished Emails - Outlook 2003

[Lanew]

About a year's worth of emails has vanished from my inbox. It was a single
mouse click, but I dont know what I clicked and they they were gone. Not the
whole inbox, just a large portion of them and the most current ones. I'm
hoping that I inadvertently put them somewhere - but where?

Any help?

Perhaps you inadvertently filtered your view. If you click on View > Current
view what you should see checked is Messages. Anything else filters your
view and could be responsible for the fact you're not seeing what you expect
to. Try that first, if that doesn't resolve the problem please post back.

Deleted them, perhaps? Check the Deleted Items folder.

Good suggestion, but it didn't help. An do, they are not in deleted items.
Some more exlanation may help? I have 2 accounts/inboxes. One account was
not affected by this at all. I do have a message rule that moves all incoming
to one account to that inbox, but that seems to be working fine.
Oddly, I find that a lot of messages from one account were moved to the
other about the same time that this occurred - but in the opposite of what
the message rules says to do. Actually, these old messages moved from their
account TO the one that is also missing a year's worth of the most current
messages - if any of that explanation makes sense?
Is there a way to roll back or restore Outlook somehow to the day before
these messages disappeared?
Thanks for you effort

See yesterday's reply - any ideas?
