Organizer Synch deleted EVERYTHING in ToodleDo!

The synching was working perfectly, I'd checked it back and forth a few times always synching manually from Outlook, then from Toodled and back.  I finally got comfortable on day 3 while working all day in Outlook to put on the 'auto-synch' every 15 minutes, running in the background.  Today at the end of the day, I logged into Toodled to create the folded printable list, and everything was GONE!  All tasks, deleted.

The Toodled site warned of this, but alas I went forward anyway.  I will disconnect and then reconnect to see if that replicates the data back, but this is not good.

Also -- Organizer and the project planner is SOOOO slow.  Anything you might suggest to speed performance on my laptop?  Right now, every task save takes almost a full minute of waiting, and initial set up of 15 folders/projects took almost 2 hours!  It feels like my productivity has slowed substantially, even though this might be the path to productivity improvement.

Appreciate any thoughts.

thanks
