Hi

From time to time I get the following error message when opening Windows Mail:

"Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the
Windows Mail message store. Windows Mail was unable to locate its message
database. ... Click OK to reset the database path ..."

I then click OK, it points to the correct folder which I simply confirm and
then works fine.

Has anybody please an idea how to stop this?

Cheers

Nikl

Did you move the message store away from its default location?
(C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail)
