For some reason, mail.app has been refusing to retrieve messages from my RCN mailbox. It retrieves the ones from gmail just fine, and I can get the RCN messages through webmail (so I know the login and password work).
I thought it would be a good idea to delete the RCN account from mail.app and then add it back in, in case something about the login or password had gotten corrupted. But when I deleted the RCN account, all the messages in my inbox and--more important--my outbox have disappeared. Undo is grayed out, but I haven't yet quit mail.app. Can I save my old messages somehow? I don't find anything called "sent.mbox" or similar in my Trash.
