Outlook 2013, local (not Exchange).
I had opened many (40+) emails in the Sent folder and was perusing them 1 at a time when i accidentally closed Outlook (click on X top right corner). Without delay or query, everything disappeared. I restarted Outlook, but I can't find any of the opened emails (not in Sent, nor Deleted).
 
Solution
Unless you have a backup of the Outlook local file, those files are gone.
You may be able to get them from your email provider though by checking the web client and see if the sent items are there.
