How to open the old emails in Windows 8

How can I open old emails in Windows 8?

Default e-mail program included retains the last 14 days of mail.  However, you can change it through the settings of the application.  With the app open, pull the charm bar and click settings.  Choose "Accounts" and select the account in question (if you have several).  There is a menu drop down marked "download mail of" choice "in the last 3 days", "last 7 days", "2 weeks", "Last month" and "Any Time".  The choice of the latter will download all the mail on your server and keep a local cache of it.  I use this choice, but it depends on how large your message store is and how much space you have on your machine.

Note also that if you use some providers of messaging services the search function in the mail app will search not only what is cached locally, but also the entire file on the server.  While if you keep just 2 weeks of worth of e-mail cached locally, you can always seek (and read) old messages.

  • I can't open the old emails saved in my mailbox folders

    Hello

    IF I try to open the old emails saved in different folders, it pops up a message "sorry, there is a problem with Hotmail right now. It should be fixed soon, so please try again in a few minutes. To learn more about this problem, see more details.  The problem for the past two days. I can send and receive new e-mail messages and can also open to them, but not those recorded previously. I tried to reduce the size of the account by emptying several emails, because I was warned by Hotmail to the increasing size of my mailbox storage.

    Please let me know about the solution of the problem.

    Best regards.

  • How to open the tv DVD in Windows Explorer?

    I recorded a TV show using my DVD recorder.  The show plays on my Windows 7 computer.  In my Vista Home Premium box Windows Explorer cannot open files and some program wants to burn or format sees it as a blank disc.  How can I make the Vista box open the files on the DVD disc?

    Look here for information on the Microsoft Web site:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-problems-with-creating-a-DVD-video-using-Windows-DVD-Maker

    You do not have the correct codecs installed on your Windows Vista-based computer.

    To determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

    Or you can use a non-Microsoft codec identification tool. Many are available on the Internet.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to open the Win7 search results window?

    Win7 start > search works well.

    But - the list of search results immediately closes when you click on any found object.

    Is it possible to keep this first results list open while different elements are extracted?

    Often the first choice turns out not to be the one who really wanted to, so it takes some trial and error.

    It is a drag to have to keep re-entering the same search term.

    Thank you.

    Click the 'Other results' link and it will open in a window of Windows Explorer.

  • My system drive crashed, but my emails were on another disk - how to make the old import Thunderbird (newly installed) files on the other disk?

    My system (c) drive crashed and I had to buy a new one. Former Thunderbird has been installed on the D: drive and my emails are also stored on this drive, but I don't know where. Under "Program Files - Mozilla Thunderbird" on the D: drive there are a lot of files and directories, but none of them are very large, so they cannot possibly contain gigabytes of old emails. Now, I installed new Thunderbird to the new C: drive and I do not know how to get the old emails is displayed. Please, suggest...

    "Normally, all your data is stored under the username C:\Users\"your windows "\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\profiles\"something.default"\ (this profile directory usually ends with .default)

    Under C:\Program Files\ Thunderbird\ are only program files, no data.

    CHANGE ("C:\Program Files (x 86) \Thunderbird" If you have a 64-bit pc)

    Do a search of ImapMail or mail (a directory inside your profile) on your old drive.

  • How can I download a file of old emails from Windows Mail (not Windows Live Mail) to a flash drive?

    Left Sode of the screen of Windows Mail are the names of files where the old emails can be stored. How to find the and then download them to a file separately on aflash drive as a back-up? They can be found using Windows Explorer or by using the regular 'real estate' research given to you by right-clicking on the name of the file in the Mail window.

    Messages are stored in a hidden folder that you can locate it in Windows Explorer.  To do this go to the control panel. Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types and also to verify the possibility to see the hidden files and folders.  Then in Winmail opener you can go to tools | Options | Maintenance | Advanced | Store the folder to view the location of the message store.  You can then navigate to that folder in Windows Explorer and slot that you will find a subdirectory "Local Folders" and by whom are all of your boxes to the letters and messages stored as eml files.  You can copy this store of the entirety of the message, and then on an external drive to back it up.  I believe you can also use file | Export | Messages in Winmail to save outside.
