Okay, here we go.

I found this out by getting my hands dirty (figuratively speaking, of course)
whilst rummaging through the folders in the SPOOL folder. Here's what to do as
a start:  

Choose 'open' from the File menu.

When your fileselector comes up, you want to go to SPOOL/MAIL/. While you are
here, you should see some files: a DUMMY file (don't touch!), some OUTMAIL
files, and some files for any users you have set up. The files will be:

        *.EML   All the e-mails for that user (our OUT e-mails)
        *.IDX   Can't remember - you do not need to use this anyway!
        *.YEL   Yellow Pages for a user - there isn't one for OUTMAIL (duh!)
        *.MSH   The Mailshot headers for each user - ignore.

You may also see a *.TXT file - this is unbatched mail.

What you are looking for is one of two things. Firstly, any *.EML file that is
not the same as your chosen e-mail address (ie I run the WiLDHEARTS mailing
list - e-mail for this comes in to WiLDHEAR.EML). If you have a file like this,
set up a new user (using 'setup' from the Internet menu) with the same name as
the file. All your e-mails will magically re-appear. Secondly, if you see a
*.TXT file, click on it. This should contain anything that has went missing. I
don't know how to cure this though.

Your e-mails have downloaded, and are on your 'pooter somewhere. You do not
need to try to reload them or anything.
