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.

  • How can I retrieve emails after you inadvertently delete a mail account?

    Original title: "mail.msmessagestore leader".

    I'm trying to retrieve e-mail messages after you remove inadvertently an e-mail account prior to transfer to the local store folders. How can I do?

    In WLMail?
    Deleting an account removes the Inbox messages, warning
    you.
    The messagestore does contain all the messages, it is simply an index that
    the titles of the messages and their status.
    If messages cannot be re-downloaded from the mail server, then your best
    bet would be to use an undelete program, such as Recuva.
    Search for .eml files.

  • How can I retrieve multiple accounts gmail and yahoo mail lost in change of corrupt uninstall earlier version to a version more recent installation?

    Laptop became horribly slow online. Tests suggested corruption Firefox. R/R to the current version. Two mailboxes (everyone) are maintained as the last in use. All others are lost in the transition. Gmail and Yahoo do not recognize my new settings Firefox beyond two registered accounts. I have several accounts for various uses. I want to get back them, but there is no clear process for this. In addition, the same thing happened to all the saved passwords (planned) so I re-saved many of them. However, LinkedIn, Ebay, PayPal, Twitter, etc... not recognized. Lost mail customers say systems do not exist while the members accounts remain locked to lost email accounts. I appreciate your solutions or, if necessary, of the suggestions-such as support useful contacts to Gmail and Yahoo. Thanks,-Ed

  • How can I change my name in the e-mail settings?

    I have a flame 2.2.0.0 running and in the e-mail settings, my name is misspelled. I can't understand how to change it. When I look at the settings, I can activate "Show notification for new messages" or turn off, I can "Tap to change" my signature. But I see no way to change my name. I tried a prolonged pressure, no dice.

    I have to start all over again?

    FWIW, that doesn't seem to be the case. My misspelled name certainly appears in outgoing messages.

    So... Yes. I have to start over.

    Hello

    As far as I know that it is no longer possible.
    If you have selected the language, you will need to use the language that was chosen originally.

    I not quite sure of this workaround, but check if this m:
    -create a recovery disk (using the software creator on the laptop recovery disk)
    -use the recovery disk to reinstall new OS
    -Check if it would be possible to change the language.
