Recovered messages

[Day Family]

I desperately need help with Mail!

I've had numerous problems with unknown errors on my inbox messages where I
haven't been able to delete them. Now I have followed M/S instructions
below:

Start

Search

Advanced



Location Everywhere

Check the box 'Include non-indexed ..'

Name WindowsMail.MSMessageStore



Highlight reply, right click and delete



This sorted out my inbox but also deleted ALL my saved emails, folders etc.
Now every time I start Mail this happens every time and creates another
Recovered messages folder, but all empty.



Can anyone help me stop this happening in future and where have all my old
emails gone?

Many Thanks

I don't know if this will recover your old emails, but you can
stop the repeated generation of empty 'Recovered' folders
by upgrading to Windows Live Mail:

Recovered Messages should have a plus sign in front of it. Click that.
Click the plus sign in front of the date.
Now you should see folders with messages, I think, or you may have to click
another plus sign.

After installing WLM and going through the problems associated with it,
worrying about the Recovered Messages folder reappearing is a breeze!!!
I have uninstalled WLM for the better of things.

WLM is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is nice to have a choice.
As they say, there's no arguing with taste.
