FabSwingers.com forum: Message disappeared

Can someone tell me how a sent message could disappear out of my sent folder? It doesn't show as deleted, it's just gone, and the account I sent it to is still active, not hidden, nothing like that. And I still have sent messages that are older than that one in my sent messages folder...

Weird.

It does happen. Have you got a lot of messages still in your sent folder?

"How long ago?"

A couple of weeks. I've still got messages from many months ago in my sent folder.

No, only a dozen or so.

I've not logged on for a while and now most of my messages have been deleted / I have loads of messages in my inbox and some of the older ones have gone missing

Fab is a super busy site. Hundreds of thousands of private mails are sent every day and we have tens of millions of such messages on our system. Because we do this mostly for free, we can't keep all the messages for ever because our costs would go up and up and the site would get slower and slower. Older messages that have already been read in "dormant" accounts that haven't been logged into for a while are removed from the system. Similarly if you have loads of mails in your inbox, the system will periodically remove some of the oldest.

If some mails are important to you and you want to make sure they're not deleted, become a site supporter and save any important mails to your "saved message folder" (look for "save it" on the bottom of messages you receive) and we'll keep those mails on the system (unless we screw things up and they get deleted too; but we'll try not to!).

Nope, doesn't apply. As I said, I have older messages that are still there and the account I sent the message to is still active.
