What is your account type, POP or IMAP?

Do you have a backup of your Thunderbird profile folder? Since you use the account for business, you really should have a backup.

Hi I have a POP account. I am not sure what the difference is though?

I do not have a profile folder backup?

How does this all relate to retrieving my sent emails that have disappeared? Thanks, Christine

Why not?

Help (Alt-H) - Troubleshooting Information - Profile Folder - Open Folder

This should open your profile folder in Windows Explorer.

Navigate to the folder for your POP account. It should be underneath a folder 'Mail' in your profile.

Underneath the folder for your POP account there should be a file 'Sent'. What is the size of 'Sent'? Please provide a screenshot also. http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
