[MlMt] My sent messages have disappeared - are there any useful logs?

[Antonio Leding]

I had a similar set of event a few months back and discovered 2 things 
that were biting me:

* Auto-purge set on my mobile devices.

* Clicking on a message field created a search and dropped me into the 
“All Messages” box.  While I was there, I decided to do some 
cleaning but at that time, I did not have the “Source Mailbox” 
column enabled so when cleaning, I ended up permanently deleting a lot 
of my Sent Items.

I have no idea if either of these relate to your issue - just sharing my 
experience…

Good luck…
