My messagestore Windows Mail file has been damaged.

My file that I use to store emails from Windows Mail has been altered somehow. It is under \AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsMail\WindowsMail.MSmessagestore

I can not get the Import Wizard to find and use the file above. I can locate if I go through my computer, but when I click on the file it just open Windows Mail.

Is anyway to fix this corrupted file? Or even just to rename so I can get in to see saved emails?

Help! Any ideas?

TIA!

The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is only a database that contains information about the messages.  It contains no messages.  The messages are in directories named after the names of folders in WinMail and are stored individually as eml files.  So if you are looking for messages, search *.eml.  Seewww.oehelp.com/backup.aspx for background.

Good, try repair the database and compress them. Also clean the empty files. But the Import Wizard still can't find the file. :( Thanks anyway!
