Windows Mail 0Ko files

I found out using the Windows Explorer I have a number of e-mail files size 0 KB on my drive home. When I opened them they are just empty files and if I delete them nothing untoward occurs. After a few weeks, several 0 KB files appear. They produce in the place according to records users/JB/appdata/local/Microsoft/Windows Mail / local / Inbox. I sort my Inbox, these files do not appear in the categories that appear at the top of the list, and then these files will appear at the end. When you use Windows mail (and not explore) I don't see any signs of these files

My questions are: 1. where these files come from. 2. How can I prevent them being generated 3.  Apart from delete them individually, is it possible to delete them in a batch.
I use Windows Vista HP 6.0.6002 SP2 build 6002 with full updates on an Acer Aspire M1640 and have no other obvious problem with Windows Mail.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.
 

Antivirus software often will delete the message or erase its contents, so maybe it's what you see.  His best not whether analyze them, as the value which can cause all sorts of WinMail questions (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

You can try compacting and repairing the database to get rid of any mismatch (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/), in particular those generated by software that erases a message without making a similar change to the database of WinMail.

If you get always them, simply open the Explorer in the directory and sorting by size and then you can choose all byte zero files and delete them like that.

  • Why I can't make backups of my Vista Windows Mail email files?

    During the 3 years, when do backups, I just copied my "documents" folder in which I put my Windows Mail email folder. Never had a problem. Recently the file My last Email/Local Folders now refuses to copy. Explorer Windows try to copy it and at first it seems to work but while it starts at about 10 MB/sec it soon drops hyperbolically to zero, but never really gets there so everything hangs up. On 15 September, I made my last successful backup intact but since then, everything I tried failed. At first, I thought that files may not copy, because they are 'read only' files but of course this isn't. The files I copied successfully in my backups in September that all show an attribute "read only".

    I'm sure that this occurred shortly after a Windows Vista security 'upgrade', but after being in the security settings and change many of them I have no results.
    I recently had to use Internet Explorer for Google chrome and I don't have a gmail account if Microsoft & Google are not cohabiting in my computer. I ran into conflicts between IE and Chrome, especially when you try to print the email and web pages through our wifi HP network printer. Now my wife can not print at all. What is a part of the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    For the printer part, WinMail uses the print engine that it is uses, adjust if margins and other in Internet Explorer to print in WinMail.

    But the inability to copy the files suggest hard disk problems.  Try opening Windows Explorer, right click on the C drive and go to properties. Tools | Check out now and see if it finds problems.  You can also use the attempt to Windows Explorer to access the folders and messages to make sure there is no problem with access (try to copy directories message individually and perhaps you can distinguish a problem).  You can also try compacting and repairing the database of WinMail to ensure that it is not the question, but I doubt that this would be the case.

  • Backup Windows Mail .eml files

    I have found and saved my files of .eml to C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local folders a few months ago, however, when I try to save it again, I'm not capture my most recent emails. The e-mail messages were all abandoned in the respective records and are 'there' while I'm under Windows Mail, however, a lot of the newer files are NOT in the directory 'Local Folders' hard disk. Guidance on where to find them? Thank you! Bob K.

    Have you copied all the files in the folder "Windows Mail" and did you do immediately after as a transmission / reception with Windows Mail closed?  That's what I'd do.

  • Vista - Windows Mail. copy and save messages

    I'm looking for backup my windows mail emails. I look in the C:\users\(user-name limes) \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local files etc. but do not see the directories where the actual messages are stored only the Inbox, box send, sent, Deleted, drafts, and junk. Where are the directories for the actual messages. * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *

    Needless to say that the export and import functions do not work. They do not export on a disk or zip drive (who wants to export to the same drive that may crash!), but even when I do this last import cannot find the exported files.

    Since this is about the most important function in modern business that is emailing why there not a simple way to backup emails.

    Here's a tutorial for your question:
    How to back up and restore messages in Windows mail

    RE: who wants to export to the same drive that can fall down!

    Excerpt:

    NOTE: Your messages were exported to the location selected in step 1 and 6 above. You can save this file exported in something such as an DVD or USB key for save or use to transfer to another computer. If you cannot copy the file exported for any reason, then place the folder exported in a ZIP file first and try again.

  • Windows 7 Mail - import Windows Mail messages?

    I had to rebuild my PC due to a serious viral infection. All my previous emials were in Mindow Mail. After re-installation and get all the latest service packs, I find that I now have Windows Mail 7. It seems that I can't import old Windows Mail .eml files saved. How can I recover the files in my email program?

    Well, it happens. Happy you have them back in.

    When messages are saved as eml files, you can, if necessary, place backup to the desktop files. Open a folder and select all the messages, and then drag them into a folder in the tree view of folders WLMail. Bruce Hagen MS - MVP [Mail]

  • When I try to copy the files from Windows Mail on Vista on a USB key I get the message "you are about to copy this file without its properties

    I move the file from my old PC which took place with Vista on a new computer running with Win 10 where I have Windows Live Mail is installed.  When I try to copy the files from Windows Mail on Vista on a USB key I get the message "you are about to copy this file without its properties".  After studying this issue on the forums, a proposed solution was to reformat the drive in NTFS format, I did.  This does not solve the problem.  Any suggestions?  Would it be OK in this case to ignore the message and copy the file without its properties?

  • Move the files of Thunderbird to Windows Mail

    I searched high and low for a solution to my problem. Nothing that I find works for me. I used Windows Mail in the past but had problems, but I hope they have been corrected. I moved to Thunderbird and now I want to move my emails to WM. I can't find something that works. I have several email addresses in Thunderbird which is separate files, some people have folders within them.

    Is there a simple solution on how to import my mails from Thunderbird to Windows Mail?

    You can upgrade to Windows Live Mail; Windows Mail has been abandoned with no other work for him (and probably has the same issues you encountered earlier).  WLM uses sets of folder for each account, not mising as with WM.
