Almost spanking new DELL, boilerplated by McAfee 24/7, and Windows 8.1 of course.

Without any warning whatsoever, the contents of Sent, Junk Mail, Deleted and INBOX folders are wiped out, gone, no more.

Noticed a message in a pop up tab, "Windows is busy now" or something to that effect.

Then another message informs that Windows has recovered some messages.

Upon checking I found: most recent [10-20] emails over 2 days restored to INBOX, nothing to Sent or Deleted [nothing to cry over].

It is very embarrassing when one receives a reply and can't check what exactly was it in regard to.

Today's data obliteration was the fourth incident over the past month. Have no clue whether the hardware or the software is spooking me but sure it is not amusing. As it is, WLM 2012 appears less reliable communication than smoke rings. Am I alone, anyone else afflicted out there? 

I could use some HELP.
