Checked Windows Mail for messages after 8 days and all my emails are missing.

original title: Lost email

After 8 days, I went back and checked Windows Mail messages.  Shows 90 + messages unread; then "Windows server has stopped...". "No emails. nothing.  A test message to me has been a success, but 8 days of messages have been lost.

See here for information on how WinMail stores messages (www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm).  Under the Inbox of the message store directory (as indicated by Imran), the eml for the Inbox files are located.  Which opens in Windows Explorer and see if the number of eml files is the number of messages that signals the WinMail.  If the number of eml files is higher than the number WinMail indicates, then its likely lost some of these messages are still there.  You can try similar tests in other folders as well.  If you find more WinMail indicates, then you can drag all eml files out to explore in a new Windows Mail folder and then you can figure out which has been lost.

Also check for 3rd-party program interference that might have caused the loss.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  • roboform menu, bar and all the toolbars are missing after the Fierefox 5

    I've upgraded to Firefox 5 and couldn't get the Roboform toolbar. Then the menu bar went away. I tried to restore it with the Alt key, as has been suggested, that did not work. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox? I desperately need the Roboform and navigate. Thank you

    I had trouble with this too, but I found the answer.
    Download the addon from Lite RoboForm Password Manager. I thought that it worked only for the RoboForm everywhere, but it works for the ordinary too.

  • Windows Mail export messages to drive c: with folder names wrong and structure

    I just tried to export all messages from Windows Mail on the PC hard disk and, while messages are grouped together correctly, their folder names appear to back a former name or took a completely different name.

    Records do not export in the structure correct (folders and subfolders) so it is impossible to work on the file that goes where, as much as the export messages as a reference number only and not with the subject alpha (as happens when you drag and drop on the C drive in Windows Explorer manually).

    Any ideas about how I cam get Windows Mail to export the current folder names, and also to preserve the existing structure?

    Thank you very much, Temp.

    What you see is what you get.  Essentially abandoned Microsoft Windows Mail

  • Windows Mail does not open Inbox, all other files are missing.

    When I open Windows mail, all records except local and Inbox are missing.

    The rest of the screen is empty except for a message:

    County of folder may not be displayed

    Windows Mail could not open this folder.

    Possible Casuses are:

    low disk space

    not enough memory

    After turning off my computer, defraggin computer to free up space to oup, I still got the same message.

    I went on my ipad and access the windows messaging it. I had three new messages that I could access. I raise 9 unsent messages in your Outbox (they never appear on my desktop version). I cleaned up the.

    restarted my computer desk - still no change.

    I use Windows Vista

    I tried to download the package of Windows 941090 update but it said I had a bad version. I double checked, I had the correct 32-bit version.

    So what can I try now?

    Thank you very much

    I did export and then used the other program you suggested to compact the database, and finally I could work on my mail.  I could even delete nearly 1000 emails in the deleted files folder. Before it would just give me an error message.

  • Windows 8 buggy again after many problems and refreshes.

    Hello, this has been my third discount over the last 2 weeks. Windows 8 always worked fine for me until about 2 weeks ago, when he got into a loop of auto repair after a reboot.  I tried everything to fix it and finally I had to update Windows.

    After that I finally managed to install most of my programs lost and began to enjoy my PC once again, suddenly the Windows Explorer crashed and began to close and restart all the time. When I tried then auto repair, it remained stuck in another loop, this time with a nice BSOD at the end I searched a lot on the internet and I tried everything I can to remedy this, but finally I had to réactualisiez.

    After this refresh Windows seems to work perfectly, and better than ever before, I could even install some updates, that I was not able to install before because of some kind of bug. Then after a certain update that upgrades to Windows 8.1 appeared in the app store. My first attenpt to install failed, so I googled the error code upward and run the update during a clean boot with updated graphics drivers. The update failed, but this time my internet connection is completely. After some research, I discovered the autoconfiguration service WLAN could not be started due to error 193: 0xc1. I tried all possible ways to fix that I found on the internet, but nothing has worked. Finally I have a third update of despair.

    Given that the update, I can't sem to be able to install half the updates and all click on boxes of the metro interface miss the text. When I tried to contact Microsoft support, I discovered my product id is "unavailable" and everything is just very bug.

    So, what should I do now? Perhaps yet another Windows refresh help? Is there meaning to perform a new installation? Is this necessary?

    I also finally have windows 8.1.

    Table of contents of the double thread:

    A clean installation resolves all possible hard disk problems?

     
    Hello, I had a lot of trouble with my PC for the past 3 weeks, including the BSOD and other kinds of bugs and crashes. I described most in this issue:

    Now everything seems to work again fine, but I get several kinds of problems. When I tried to install the video card drivers that my computer kept freezing, most Metro applications turns off after opening, some programs do not start sometimes and I get a lot of other mistakes. My computer needs correct the mistakes of hard drive several times a day.
    Everything points to the failure of the hard drive. However, I use an SSD. I don't know if this changes anything though.
    Then my last question was a clean install would stop all this evil for good? And if not, what might help?

    I just wanted you to know that I finally discovered the cause of the accident. Because those made completely inaccessible Windows, I couldn't dump files. But after each clean install Windows crashed after I installed a bunch of software. But I was not sure what software it is, so I made a wrong bet, and my computer crashed again.

    So, after that 2nd clean installed, I searched for accidents with the program I knew most, Deamon Tools. Each accident came when I restarted the computer after a session, I have installed or used Daemon Tools in. And indeed, it turns out be known to cause a BSOD. However, that sounded weird to me, because I used it for many months and never the source of problems.
    After that my 3rd installed clean, I decided to restart my computer after each program I have installed, in the case of another wrong bet, but do not install Daemon tools. And now, while I tap on my beloved PC, it works very well with all my software, with the exception of Daemon Tools.
    I also red published there also with pretty much every other ISO mounting program on Windows 8. No idea how to mount the ISOs anyway? (Edit: oh, it seems that Windows 8 is a built-in ISO film editor.)
