Email disappears in Windows Mail

Two questions developed with my Windows Mail program the other day.  First of all, when I open the program, I noticed the mail in my Inbox appears in bold, even though it has been read previously. Secondly, when I open the program, the mail in my Inbox which previously loaded will disappear if I close and reopen the program, or if I open one of the folders of mail and return to the Inbox.  If I transfer an email to another folder, it is safe. But if I leave it in the Inbox, it will disappear.  I'm not under McAfee like talking about some of the previous answers, and I did not install new programs.  This has been completely "out of the blue", a few days ago.  No other settings have been changed? Help, please, if you can. Thank you.

Hello Alane2,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.
 
You can have setup an option to hide read messages.

In your main toolbar of Windows Mail

View > current view > Hide read messages

Change to show all

Also, I saw other posts with the same problem occurring.  They have removed that particular e-mail account.  Then closed Windows Mail and Windows Mail to reopen, re-enter the same account with all its information as before.  Many post indicated that brought mail that had disappeared.  Please let me know if this helps or if you're still having problems. Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

  • read emails disappear in Windows Mail

    I use Windows Vista and Windows Mail.  Every time I leave an email as read in my Inbox and I go into a different folder (folder sent, deleted, personal, etc.) it just completely disappears when I return to my Inbox.  If I keep as unread it will stay there until I delete it.  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Where should I go on my PC to fix this?

    In this case, use the settings given here:
     
    Use port 587 instead of port 25 of the SMTP server.
     
    To give you a little history, Windows Mail does not support the HTTP messaging, which for a long time was the only authorized method of access for free Hotmail/MSN accounts. In addition, given that the development of Windows Mail was frozen in July 2006, there no knowledge that Microsoft has enabled POP access for free Hotmail/Live/MSN accounts in February 2009. Therefore, the Windows Mail Account Setup Wizard is hardcoded to reject the Hotmail and MSN addresses. To work around this limitation, when you enter your Hotmail/MSN email address, initially, use a fake domain, such as * address email is removed from the privacy *. After the account setup is complete, you can go back into the settings and correct your email address.

  • When I downloaded IE9 my email and folders disappeared in windows mail.

    I'm running Vista on this computer. Is it possible to recoving old emails and folders?

    Is no IE 9: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#15 , but it is not clear the messages.  Make sure you in Winmail opener you have put in view. Current view | Show all messages and also make sure you have the list of records or record enabled under view bar | Page layout.  If this does not help then try to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  If the messages still do not, then you can go to the message store and see if the eml files are there under the folder names (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for background).  And in the future, beware of antivirus software that is not compatible with Windows Mail (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  See if any of this helps.

    Windows Mail

    I use windows mail to send and receive emails.  However, when I send an email from my main e-mail address the response is sent to a secondary email address. My windows mail is set to import emails to this address, but I want the emails I send to show primary not secondary e-mail address. How can I change my settings to show that the email is sent to the primary address. Thanks for any help. Maureen

    1. Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | In general. Make sure that the response field is empty for both accounts.
    2. Also in tools | Accounts, make sure that your main account is the default account.
     
     
     
  • Opening of attachments in the emails received in Windows Mail

    For the last month I could not open or save attachments with the emails that I receive in my Windows Mail folder.  At the same time, I can not extract files from zipped files I receive (an empty folder is created but nothing is extracted).  I solved the problem of zip by downloading a separate program to decompress (7 Zip file manager) but still my main problem with opening/saving attachments in emails.  I see a post from Finekatz back in April 2009 had exactly the same problem, but could not see a solution has been found.  Please help - it's very annoying.  See you soon

  • Saved emails disappear in Windows 8 Mail app! Why?

    I save some emails in my folders and they disappear!  What are the records if they keep the drain?  Why does it do this? Is there a way to stop this?  I do some folders to save certain emails. Then in a few days or more, they are gone!  Ugh!  It's frustrating! Whats up with that?

    Hello Mary L59,.

    Your app syncs email with email that is put in place in it. If your emails are removed from the e-mail account that is connected to the messaging application, your emails will be deleted in the Mail app too.

    I hope this helps.
