Moving and Saving Emails

[Guest]

I would like to move items I read out of my Inbox and into the Deleted Items
folder to save for future viewing. However, every time I close Windows Mail,
it deletes all the emails in the Deleted Items folder. Is there a way to
prevent it from doing this?

What a way to operate!

The deleted items folder is for just that.

Why not go to the View menu>current view>Hide Read Messages?

Putting mail in Deleted folder to save them makes no sense. Why don't you
create a new folder for saved mail and use that?

I agree. That's what "Deleted Items" was designed for. Please create you a
New Folder, name it whatever you want to call it, and keep you mail in there.
That way your mail will never disappear unless you want it to.

I'm getting ready to move to a dish network and a new mailbox. Is there a way

Changing providers doesn't require you to delete or change anything.
Just add a new account in Windows Mail for the new provider.

However, it doesn't hurt to backup your old emails: File, Export,
Messages, Microsoft Windows Mail.
