I recently ran a Recovery with Automatic Data Backup in Windows Vista.
When
I signed in to Windows Mail, I was forced to re-set up my email account.
Now
I can only see the new emails while my old email files are in a Backup
folder. I found the old email files and copied them into the folder where
my
current email files are, but they don't show up when I open the new
Windows
Mail. I am baffled as I am able to see the contact files after going
through
the same copy/paste actions. Why does Windows Mail read the old contacts
but
not the old email files?

You need to import the files so they will be added to the index file, not
just
copy them into the folder. The contacts file apparantly does not need this.
