Dear Bret,

   I am sorry this happened. I am not aware of any circumstances under 
which Alpine would remove messages, except filtering. I imagine you do not 
have debug information that could be analyzed.

   Alpine does not save deleted messages to any specific folder, so 
whichever message was deleted is not recoverable. The only thing I can 
suggest is to create a filter in that folder that is active on deleted 
messages and saves them to another folder.

   Please let me know if you need any assistance from me.
