I recently turned off my computer for an evening and then
in the morning turned it on again only to get an error
message at my login that my personality file was missing
or corrupt. Then it logs in to a generic screen and
everything runs fine. This would not be a problem except
that all of my email and settings have now disappeared.
I try Outlook Express and all I get is the initial
Outlook Express message but all of the other messages are
gone. Is there any way to retrieve all of the lost email
or am I basically scr---d?? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Terry
