I am using microsoft outlook 2003 & these steps are for a later version.

I dont have a view layout menu can you please help

I also dont have a copy of my mail since April 22, 09 in the out look already set up like above.

I have had the same exact problem it happened to my work computer and after failed attempts to get the i.t guy to call me back i decided to fix it myself. the solution is to clear your filter thats what i did go to the view tab then go down and hit toolbar a list will pop out and press customise and then clear all on your filter. obviously after this over 100 other emails popped out but i just deleted them all but it helped solve the problem.
hope it works.

Thanks Leo,
After a frustrating search on the internet about how my emailbox including sent items could suddenly disappear your answer was a revelation. Well done, and explained so well to those of us who are not computer nerds.

How can I find the sent Items in Outlook Express? I am using Windows XP home.

There is a good emails earch script posted at http://www.biterscripting.com/SS_FindEmailStrs.html . Here is the command line to use it (per them - I am copying part of that web page). I use it to find lost email addresses, list emails from a friend, etc. Download the tool from http://www.biterscripting.com/install.html .

script "SS_FindEmailStrs.txt" storagedir("C:/Email") files("*.eml") search_strings("joe+genovicci;ana+wilkes") sep(";") lines(100)

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A BIG HELP!! This was driving me insane.

Hmmm.....I had the same problem for two days....then read all the solutions and Irwin's suggestion got me convinced I would fix it . . .but I found no toolbar in my view. Instead I tried VIEW > SORT BY > SENT (check) and bingo, all sen emails appeared ;-)

I had the same problem. in my case the view menu showed grouping by conversation was on. Switching it off made my messages appear. I use a lot of messages with the same subject so grouping makes no sense.
