I was composing a reply and it disappeared.

I recomposed it and click to save it to drafts and then I couldnt find the drafts folder on MSN

I, too, have suffered by having a lengthy email accidentally disappear just as I was finishing it. Now, if I know it's a long one, I compose in Word and then copy and paste it into my Hotmail email. I've never figured out which key is the culprit, but it's one at the bottom of the keyboard and if I just brush it, everything is gone. Aaaaarrgh!!!! So save, save, save......

Why didn't my letter get saved as a draft like usual. Not only did it not save but 10 other drafts just disappeared. Can I get them back and why is this happening?

Hi can you help.We saved an email'Hotmail' to the save draft folder and retrieved it later to add more text, we then clicked on the save draft again but all the extra text dissapeared, what can we do to get it back and was it because our email was to long. we have checked in the commputer bin etc but cannot find the rest of the email anywhere. I am 75 so simple instructions would be much appreciated...Our security system is firfox and are computer is Vista...Thankyou...Scouser...

this happens to me ALL the time - typing a lengthy email and then, poof, its gone - no way to get it back. It started when I got this Dell Laptop and Windows Vista. Never occurred on my desktop. I must be hitting a key accidentally but I can't figure it out.
