Why isn't Outlook Express letting me see the incoming e-mails?

Has anyone else ever had this problem? Yesterday I was selectively cleaning out my inbox: certain types of messages, certain senders, the "read" return messages, spam, etc., when all of a sudden it deleted the entire past 10 months of incoming e-mails. So, OK, I lost all the recent stuff I might have needed for work, but I figured at least the box is lightened. But now it doesn't show me the incoming mail. I see it being downloaded and the beep signal that it's arrived, but nothing shows up.

It was already doing that last trick sometimes recently. I would figure the box was too full and delete some stuff, and then everything would show up. But why now, after cleaning it out?

What can I do?

(I'm not talking about Yahoo! mail, which luckily is separate from my Outlook Express.)

Update:

Response to 1st answerer: no, that's not the problem. It's already set like that (to see all messages). And just to make sure, I unset it and reset it, and then turned the pc off and back on again. But it's still hiding my incoming e-mails. :-(

    Open Out Look Expresss, Then at the very top of Out Look Express ,in the grey border, click the VIEW button ,then click CURRENT VIEW, from there click ALL MESSAGES. Then when you open OUT Look Express, when you recieve new messages you will be able to look in the left pane and see your INBOX, and after you click INBOX all of the messages you have in your INBOX will be displayed.
