Hi, Barry, Thank you so very much. I can still get (and send) email but all my 'input mail' prior to May 21 has totally disappeared. I have tried looking for it in the deleted file but it is not there. I had been saving a few to answer or print out (lesson learned here). Plus a family member had sent some photos (via Snapfish) which I had not yet downloaded to my computer and I really wanted to keep them. I am in the process of reading the Input repair tool kit - my son is due to visit on Memorial Day and I will get him to help me. Again, many, many thanks for sharing you knowledge.

Floreda, Is it possible you accidentally clicked something to set it to "Hide Read Messages" ?
