Disappearing emails

[Arrick Wilkinson]

I have a large file structure of folders. It used to work fine in Outlook
and I was never aware of losing an email.
In windows mail, which I have had to move to, the structure is there, the
headers are there, but when I move a file in, it takes on the body
(apparently) of the first file in the folder, as do all the messages in the
folder. If I delete the first file in the folder, the other messages also
then disappear - unable to be found.

Am I doing something wrong - I have moved using both drag and drop and the
command, but nothing works.
And althogh recovery of folders runs, it recovers lots of empty folders, but
over and over again.

Any bright ideas guys?

It sounds as if some 3rd party program is interfering and messing things up.
See point 3 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 Also try my Windows Mail
utility to compact and repair the database and see if that helps at all
(www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/)
