Windows Mail Doesn't Displa Messages

I got a new Toshiba Notebook which came with Vista Home Premium installed on
it.

After doing a bit of research, I found out how to move my Accounts and
Messages from Outlook Express on my old machine. Everything appeared to be
fine, but then strange things started to happen:

First, the folders don't appear in the left-hand window. I have about 50
different folders, some of them nested, but only "Inbox" shows up, and when I
select that, the right-hand window says, "There are no items in this view
despite the fact that the Inbox folder shows 33 unread messages.

When I select "Local Folders" all of the folders show up in the right hand
window.
When I double click on any of them, they appear in the left window, but
again, no messages.

When I try to do a "Find" and select "Browse" to designate the folder, the
only option that appears is "Windows Mail."

Clearly something had become corrupted. I'd be happy at this point to just
start over from scratch, but I'm not sure how to do this or which files to
delete to restore the program to its initial state.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
