Question about Outlook Express

All the massive amount in my Draft box 800+ of them vanished from my Draft box. There was only one that remained that I had left open to finish composing. The resent inbox ones that were form the last 10 days Vanished too! ( There are a few that remained that I had flaged but that is it!) I did not delete them. They are not in deleted file! Nothing is even in the deleted section that I actually had deleted during those days are gone too. I've checked the Deleted Folder and none of them are present that I had in my Draft file or the Inbox or the previosly deleted ones? I even checked the "recover deleted from deleted folder" option and nothing is present. Since, I've even done a search through my other custom folders incase I'de accidently dragged or moved them, and done a search using the search utility at the top of the page by typing in key phrases from the Drafts. They simply seem to have vanished, all 800 of them. I had used the computer a couple of hours prior, and was having trouble with Hotmail, could not put in out going addresses. Came back a few hour later and they were GONE from my computer! How do I get them back need them ASAP!
