Windows Live Mail help - folders view

I lost about 400 emails. I know that they are still in my system of e-mail somewhere when I'm looking for the e-mail address of the recipients, all messages (sent and received) that show the results. However, there is nothing to tell me exactly which folder are in.

I've always used Outlook Express and in the main pane, you can select which columns to show and I've always had: to, of, Date, attachment, folder and that I could always tell folder in which was in the email.

In Windows Live Mail, it has no option to add the 'File' column, so, how do I know where all these emails? All mails (about 400 of them) were stored in a main folder called '2009', who was then 12 subfolders. I cannot find this folder or one of its subfolders anywhere now, but all emails are in the system somewhere because they all show in search results.

All help find a way to see the location real email would be appreciated.

Thank you

  • How to import Windows Live Mail storage folders in Thunderbird

    I am trying to import the .eml files that I have in storage files in WLM in Thunderbird. Of the help section on Thunderbird:

    Windows Mail (.eml files) in Thunderbird import is enabled by ImportExport third-party add-on tools. Download and install this add-on to transfer messages from Windows Live Mail into Thunderbird.

    However, import Tools is an as file and my computer (Windows 7) cannot open it. Although I found an online program that convert into something readable, my software virus identified the program as malware. Does anyone know a way to safely convert a file as something Windows can recognize and run?

    Or y at - it another way to get this add-on to run?

    You should have a new tab under tools at the bottom that says "import/export - tools".
    You can watch modules / Modules to see if
    ImportExportTools is installed and activated. The choice of installation it is probably fine as it is.

  • Windows Live Mail Help - cannot send systematically sorting in my files using the topic "to THE".

    I've been using Windows Live Mail for some time with Windows 7, but can rarely sort email in my "SENT" by the following folder: it works generally in the Inbox.  Today, all of a sudden I can set this column in my Inbox, but a few moments ago, I was able to sort this column in my "SENT" folder.  What is happening and how to fix it?  When I sort by TO, usually the OBJECT column gets sorted.

    When you back up Windows Live Mail storage on WD EHD files it says its going to take 10-20 hours?

    I noticed that all other transfers files to my WD EHD have always been "quite chilly.
    I want to save my Docs, Vids My, My DVD my photos etc with many different file formats,
    numbers of & sizes much larger than my backup folders of WLM storage.
    I tried to save WLM backup to different external HD, Flash Drives & direct burning to DVD disc &
    all are very slow with flow rates up to 4 bytes/sec display!
    The fastest was direct on DVD but still hours.
    That is why I thought it was the specific issue of WLM, but found no solution on Windows Live related forums.

    I'm new to Windows 8 and has been using Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP before that. I need help to transfer the contacts from outlook to Windows Live Mail 8. It would also help if someone can help me with a kind of tutorials or something so I can use Windows 8 in an optimal way. Thank you!

    In Outlook Express, compact you files first.
     

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Note: If any DBX file is over 300 MB, return to OE and move some messages from the folder related to a new user created folder and compact down the size of the file.
     

    For addresses:
     

    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

    [Original title: Windows Live Mail Help!]

    You can read a message like this if you press Alt-Shift-H?

    When you view your list of messages, press Ctrl-Shift-O for Options. On the reading tab, is to read all messages in plain text selected?

    If this isn't the case, you can have too many temporary Internet files. Close Windows Live Mail. In Control Panel, select Internet Options, then on the general tab, click delete... Select the boxes on two albums, and then click Remove. Wait until the process is complete, then restart Windows Live Mail and see if the problem persists.

  • Installed Windows 7 and windows live mail, how can I import my emails (.dbx files) of Outlook Express 6 in XP.___Jackson

    I tried everything, I use import in windows live, but the messages do not appear in the additional email account. Changed all Office win7 .dbx files, they seem to be important but do not appear in the email client. I tried everything, and read all that, short of ideas.
    Any help, greatly appreciated.

    Jackson9

    Thanks for the help, finally understand it a day or two ago, it is important in a storage folder, it WILL NOT put it in the mail client, you have to find the storage folder. who is buried deep (C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Storage Folders\Imported Folder\Local folder) in the C drive, and then copy and paste in the files, one folder by one. BTW, the link refers to the import of Vista, Win7 not. The process does not work in Win7
