Yes! WLM warned you that this was about to happen, but the warning is in
plain text, buried in the middle of boilerplate language that is so easily
overlooked that MANY users have missed it and just clicked "OK" routinely.
GOTCHA!! :>(
To see what you missed, just click Tools | Accounts, select one of your Mail
Accounts, then click Remove - STOP! DO NOT click OK! Carefully read the
message in the popup box. Especially the last part of the first sentence in
the main paragraph. "...your messages will be permanently deleted when you
remove this account."
You might also want to click Help | Send feedback... and let the WLM Team
know what you think of this message.
