Hi PinkElephant and Boot17
Problem Solved. Thank you both for the feedback.
I was sure I was logging in with correct username. I hadn’t had to actually do that for quite some time since my iphone automatically did that for me whenever I launched. I guess the phone “lost” the login info , thereby asking me to login recently . Based on your feedback, I doubted myself now, and I then searched through my old emails and found my original signup confirmation. Low and behold, it was with an email I haven’t used in years. So, when I logged in with the email I’ve been using for quite a while now, it surely did not work, and instead created a new Evernote account
All my notes are found!
Thank you much, have a nice holiday
Cheers
Bill
