Does your experience sound like this?

No. I know why my notes are missing (they were in the imported notes folder). I just don't know why I ever had notes in the imported notes folder, and wonder whether there is a way to recover them. The loss is my fault - I had the chance to backup imported notes at the Evernote 10 installation but neglected to do so.

Just guessing - I get an Imported Notes notebook when importing from an .enex file   
It's a Local Notebook and Local Notebooks are no longer supported in v10

Thanks for your response. I don't recall ever importing an .enex file - I never have had reason to. But if that's the only explanation for the existence of imported notes, then I guess I must have. I used to save Windows system image backups of my laptop (until it stopped working in Windows). If I fish the evernote db out of one of those, I might be able to restore whatever was in my Evernote imported notes folder...

During the Windows Evernote 10 update installation I was told that imported notes will not be retained. I didn't take the program up on the option to back these up (my fault).

After disliking the performance of the new Evernote, I uninstalled it and reinstalled Evernote Legacy.

Evernote Legacy still shows an Imported Notes folder but it is empty. Android app shows no Imported Notes folder.

I don't even know what an imported notes folder is for, and why I had some notes in it. I was under the impression that all of my notes would be sync'd with the server. A quick search of imported notes in Evernote help and in google didn't enlighten me.

I don't think I have  lost many notes, perhaps just a few, but I would like to know whether I have definitely lost something (that was in imported notes), and why I have lost it (why did I have some notes in imported notes), and whether I might be able to recover them.

The killer feature of Evernote for me was that it was fast. Now they have killed Evernote for me by making it slow.
