emails lost in WLM

Had the problems noted with sending mail after Time Warner. They are gone from my account to IMAP settings and email went through. I had to move all of my emails stored to new subfolders for the account. Everything seemed OK until this morning. ALL the mails in my Inbox were GONE... all other emails in the other files were still there...? Tried some things noted in the forum, but they are not found as it seems... Help! Some of them are very important (obviously)... Z

As far as I know once done editing the data are deleted across the system.  I resorted to a backup to get the data.  If it wasn't for the fact that I'm down 300 MB I'd leave them.

If you use Windows live mail (e-mail client) you can also have a backup in the following location on your computer


The default location is C; \user\your name\app user data (can be invisible - later) \local\Microsoft\ windows live mail

(app data are hidden you must go into Control Panel (depending on operating system) > folder options > view > display the hidden files and folders)

  • recover email lost in outlook express 6 upgrade

    my computer automatically upgraded to outlook express 6 and lost all my emails from the old outlook express. any info on how to retrieve them would be great

    It seems that your OE message store can become corrupt and Windows creates a new. McAfee and Norton analysis e-mail used to be the #1 guilty, but no analysis emails can cause these days.

    You can be the GROUND if you have never backed up your messages, but we'll see if there is something on your machine, we can come back. Check the following, but do nothing before posting back.

    1: check the trash for the bak files. If they are there, note the date of creation.

    2: Check if you have more than one identity in OE. File | Identities | Manage identities. Is there more than one, or just the one you have now?

    3: select Show files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View. After selecting the button to show hidden files and folders, search, and search for *.dbx

    Post back with the results of these three tasks. If you have no chance, your only chance to possibly retrieve messages is with this tool.

  • Help with emails lost on the version of outlook express 6

    Outlook express deleted at random 2 years worth of my emails. Is there anyway to get back them. ? They are not in the deleted section

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
     

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
     
     
     
    Recovery methods:
     
    If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
     
    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
     
    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     

    Note: If you have new messages in the folder you are go restore, move them to a folder first created user, or they will be lost. They can be moved once the old posts have been restored.
     

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
     
     
    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
     
     
    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
     

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
     
     
    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
     
     
     
     
     
     

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
     

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
     

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently.

  • I have a problem with emails lost in my Inbox after I have them compacted

    I compacted my emails as suggested and have done on other occasions without any problems. On this occasion, I lost about 6 months of emails from my Inbox only.

    I followed the instructions given to someone else in this site, I opned the recycling box and file found the ".bak" that was missing. I have a right-click on it and then selected 'restore '.

    I can't find the file in windows Explorer, what do I do now.

    Howard

    The bak file will be in the message store.   The files are hidden there, then go to control panel | Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types and also check in to display the hidden files and folders.  Then go to the message store (in OE location is located on via Tools |) Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Storage folder).  Then you can follow the steps here to import dbx or bak file: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1.  If it works, I highly recommend what to backup your messages.  Otherwise, if the file will not import, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) may be able to recover what was lost.

  • How can I retrieve emails lost since the e-mail window?

    When I tried to save my e-mail messages to a flash drive, I lost all with their different folders.  They appear in my trash, or flash drive that I tried to copy them.  He had no problems in the backup in the flash drive various other documents to my computer with an operating system from Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 installed.

    I can still access Windows Mail, but all records are missing, except for the folders such as the Inbox, Outbox, sent, deleted and junk that come with the program.  Other folders are empty.  In a test, I found that I can always send and receive emails and those test messages have been maintained.  All previous messages are still missing.

    The only place where I've found yet an indication of previous Windows Mail files was in C/users/username/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Mail/Local folders.  The records were there, but each had only a single file of 1 KB, winmail.fol, that I couldn't open.  Go into Windows Mail in the folder programs gave nothing useful.

    I used the system restore to set up the computer to a previous state, before this problem occurs.  He did it so perfectly, except that e-mail messages Windows were still missing no matter how or where I looked.

    I am at a loss what to try next.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Thank you.   Sincerely, Buster

    Hello Buster S.,.

    Thank you for your response back!

    In addition to questions of Hal, I've included a few steps below to try to restore your messages.  Please, let us know as much information as possible and status.  Thank you!

    Here are three ways to restore the saved messages:

    1. start Windows Mail after you have reinstalled Vista, kill him and pass the content of the windows mail with the backup folder and restart Windows mail.
    2. before start Windows Mail, copy the folder saved in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows mail storage folder.
    3. start Windows Mail and import messages in the backup storage folder.

    The address book is stored in C:\Users\username\Contacts. Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

    I have little knowledge of the software, but NO idea on how to fix or hotmail email address tells me to go to a place where I've lost more than before.   Then my password does not work and no access to e-mail.   I do not have a mobile (whatever) and I'm going to another site (Yahoo) so I can use what I paid for...

  • emails lost after restore Windows 10

    I have rolled back to Windows 7 from Windows 10 and are now that I've lost all my emails. I use Windows Live Mail and have my computer set up to delete emails from the server once downloaded to my laptop.  What is painful for me, is that my mails contain 13 years of communication research family history and are therefore invaluable to me. No, stupidly I didn't do a backup or creating a restore point before the removal of Windows 10. 10 downloaded automatically Windows that I turned on my computer and walked away so missed the Palestinian territories occupied in screen of 15 minutes.

    A computer technician would be able to find my emails? I note a restore point was created today on my computer, but not sure if it was automatically created by Microsoft before Windows 10 restore as I was too upset to take note of the time. All my emails were present on Windows 10 but disappeared during the race to return. My last full backup on an external hard drive was in January 2016.

    Please help me.

    Thanks for sharing this information on this forum.

  • CRNT FF: 1 of 5 emails lost all my messages on viewing but shows the amount of mails are there. Search can find them all, just will not appear in the Inbox

    1 of 5 email ACCOUNTS receive mail OK, but as soon as you leave this account and that you come back, nothing appears in the Inbox. The status bar shows however, that there are 32 emails it even if the Inbox is devoid of any text.

      Using Search, I can find ALL 32 emails by searching for a word in the subject field or the body fields. The mails ARE there!  They just do not display in the Inbox.
    

    Then... How the hell can I get the Inbox to display its content again?

    It worked until the day before yesterday when I read an e-mail from a reliable source and it automatically disappeared, along with all others in the Inbox. All other accounts are working very well.

       I tried creating a new email account but it wouldn't let me, giving me an error that the "incoming already exists".  No number or anything; it come when I click DONE in the creation process.  The new account will not write to the disk.
    

    I ran NOrton, AVG, MalWare Bytes, Windows Defender, Spybot AV and the other that I forgot the name of that time. ALL showed nothing found after each live scan success. I'm reasonable sure, I have no malicious software.

    Emails from this account are quite important, and I don't want to lose them if possible; they are for a Committee planning the 50th high-school reunion.

    Windows 7 HP, Dell XPS L702, 6 Gig of RAM, Intel i7 processor and lots of disk space. I've also compacted without change. The messages are all still there, but nothing shows in my Inbox; It is empty. I only see them using Find Messages from words I know are in them.

      Happy to provide any other info needed to evaluate this.  Oh, the account Sends OK too; it's a POP3 account setup.
    

    Any help would be most appreciated!
