Lost email

I had a glitch in my email program when I came home from Illinois. Apparently I had a corrupted file, sooooo.... in the process of getting things straightened out I lost a whole ton of emails. I was able to salvage my address book, and a handful of emails, but I lost everything I had stored on my computer, as well as a hundred or so recent emails. So, again, if you sent me an email recently and are wondering why I haven't responded to it... it's either because I didn't have your address in my address book, I've forgotten your email, or I forgot what you asked or wrote. Sorry.
