Well, like I said, 99% of the time.......... I had the same trouble day before yesterday and the Search Mail tab worked then, but I've had times when it didn't. When it doesn't I just shrug my shoulders and forget about it. Hiccups I guess :-) Sharon ----------------------- In a message dated 12/15/2009 11:08:07 A.M.

In this situation it was definitely a glitch on AOL's end most of the day yesterday. It isn't recurring today thankfully. Joan In a message dated 12/15/2009 1:47:46 P.M.

Nothing will appear in the search result area, but for some reason this works about 99% of the time to retrieve "lost" email.
