I had typed up two emails using Windows Live Mail which were both open on the screen but I was having trouble opening a PDF with Adobe reader (which happens occasionally) so I decided to restart my computer (this resolves the Adobes issue). I saved both emails and a window popped up each time confirming that the messages been saved to the drafts folder. This is probably where I should have checked they were actually there. I then restarted my computer planning to complete my (long and involved) emails but to my amazement they were not there. They were also not in trash or sent mail and I also attempted to "find" key words in the message but there were no results. Knowing that I did in fact save these messages prior to restarting my computer I did a test draft message and saved and again the window popped up confirming that it was saved in the drafts folder - But it was not there when I checked.

Can someone please help with this issue?
