Milan,

The subscription check didn't help as the folder was never subscribed to
- it was a folder and sub-folder where I put selected e-mails on a
certain topic.  The cache won't work as all of the e-mails are well over
90 days, so they will not be on my isp's server. Thanks for trying
though!

Dave,
