Unfortunately I have discovered that _all_ my email from 2020 is missing - searching in lots of my subfolders has confirmed this. It must have been in the other profile that is now deleted maybe? Or could it still be in my profile in another location? How could my email have been split across 2 profiles? It's a right mess now I have no record of a bunch of ongoing stuff from this year. Arghh...

Deleting a profile using the profile manager doesn't delete its contents unless you also check the checkbox to say delete all of its data. You could try searching for a "inbox." file outside of your current profile.

Nothing found :-( i don't know if I had those boxes checked to delete or not. It seems like that default profile was newer, with this profile from Dec 19 2019 latest email. Bizarre though the way the settings all got screwed with those 2 profiles. Unfortunately I did not have a backup so my bad there. I've learned that lesson before did not want to learn it again :-(
