anyone have a clue or who i can talk to ?

Thanks if u can help
AFAIK It is not just unread mail that gets deleted now the solution being to download and store any messages on your own PC.

The other possibility is that the specific server holding the stored emails was down and they will reappear once that specific server comes back on line if so maybe get dad to access the account using outlook or another mail client and keep a backup for safety.

If they have been deleted from the server I doubt they can be retrieved unless the sender retained a copy.
