My "Sent" file is empty. When I "repair it," all the emails come back. But after it is closed and reopened, once again the emails are gone. Repeated numerous times. Updated app. Closed app. Rebooted computer. I use Windows 10. Ran with compatibility to Windows 7. Still the same. I created another new file. It had the same problem.. 

Please help.

I found the answer. Somehow, the view / folders settings were changed. (Moi?) 

I set the folder view back to  "all" and, abbra caddabra, all of the messages appeared and stayed.

Thanks for your interest. JS
