lost email folder in winmail

[diane]

I have winmail and had an additional folder in it to receive another family
member's email. That folder is no longer there. Any ideas of how or where I
could find it? Its not in my recycling bin. I have done searches and found
nothing.

If the missing folder is not in your Deleted Items folder, then try
a manual run of the message store compaction. Go to Tools, Options,
Advanced, Maintenance, and change the "100" runs to 1. Close Windows Mail,
which will then prompt you to allow a compaction; do so, and let it complete.
When you reopen Windows Live Mail, be sure to change that setting back to
100 runs.

If the missing folder still exists somewhere in Windows Mail, it will reappear
under a 'Recovered' folder name.

If not, then your only hope is a file undelete utility, such as Recuva:

But frankly, the success rate is not very high, and it requires a certain
amount of tech-savvy to use that type of utility.
