Windows Mail deleted folder

I tried to delete the contents of my deleted file.  It indicates that it is elements in there that can not be deleted.  It has 160 items in the folder.  When I open the file there is not any content here.  I tried to delete it by deleting again, it will not always remove the folder.  The when I delete a new message and go look in the deleted file, nothing is there, but the number on outside of the folder of the increases.  Any help.

Thank you

Hello AFink2,

Look at the tutorial for Windows Mail to the following address: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/62560-windows-mail-problems.html

By Steve Cochran in another forum:
You can try tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store the folder to find the location of the message store.
Then move everything under this Windows Mail directory to another directory.
Then, restart WinMail and it will open fresh with nothing in the database.
You can then add your accounts and if they work properly, then you can use file | Import | Messages and choose the WinMail format and
point to the directory to which you have moved the files.

Please reply back and let us know if this can help.

Thank you

  • Windows Mail deletes any e-mail as soon as it is read and closed

    A few days ago Windows Mail suddenly started to delete all e-mails as soon as I read and closed.  He has also instantly deleted previously read all mails.  These emails are not visible in the elements deleted - they disappeared completely.

    This problem is only happening in my account (I am the computer administrator) - user account of my wife is not affected.  I can't find any setting that could be the cause.

    Can anyone help?

    A final servile apology - I found the cause of the problem.  In the view-> current view option, the setting had somehow changed to show all Messages to hide Read Messages.  When I reset, all of my emails 'disappeared' reappeared.  I don't know how it happened, because it is not an option that I knowingly consulted before (I just found today).

    Thank you for your efforts - I regret that they were not necessary.

  • Recover items in Windows Mail deleted

    From: bjwendell

    Can we check empty folders "deleted items"? Sometimes I accidentally delete the folders and I did not mean it... want to go check it out? I remembered when I was working at the office, they had a software for e-mail accounts and
    they had it, and I checked the elements of empty folders "deleted" there at - it a windows mail?

    From: bjwendell

    Answer:
    if you mean 'Recover deleted items', you've probably used Outlook with an Exchange Server. This combination offers such a feature, Windows Mail does not work.

  • Gadget in Vista Windows Mail deleted Contact

    Hello:

    I tried to empty and then import the contact information in my Contacts gadget in Windows Mail.

    (It was not populated compared to my new imported e-mail contacts list).

    Well, the Gadget's Contact has been deleted.

    I tried to find on the web page of Microsoft, so that I can download and reinsatll,

    but the web page says something to the effect that only the Gadgets Windows 7 is now supported.

    Is anyway or any place where I can download this gadget.

    I tried some Google searches, but have so far not found anyyhing.

    Thank you

    DaleB

    I'm really happy that we issue is resolved.

    The methods on the functioning of the gadgets is not well documented, and I'm not an expert on the contacts, so I don't know what will happen if you try to update in the future.   You need to maybe just remove the gadget if it is not updated, and then add it back again.

    see you soon,

  • Windows Mail - deleting messages

    In Windows Mail, when you try to permanently delete the messages a lot of box removed, some deleted but the remains now say 'message cannot be displayed"and it is then impossible to open or delete them.  Can anyone help?

    Thanks for the help but, unfortunately, none of these worked.

    * If you are not familiar with setting up an e-mail account, make sure you have all your account settings copied to a sheet of paper.

    Open Windows mail > Tools > Options > account > click on your account > DELETE.

    Reset

    Open Windows Mail > Tools > Options > accounts > ADD > re - enter your account settings.

  • Windows Mail deletes random older messages

    Hi, I just switched from outlook express to windows live mail and have had no problems with it, until this:

    I noticed twice already, close to half of my emails (in my hotmail account), everything, randomly missing since the oldest in my Inbox.  I couldn't find any setting for this under the account properties, and I don't know what else could be wrong.

    It is not a matter of show/hide messages because I've seen discussed here... I checked for it.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    I found what my problem was.  It was actually the Mac mail client that I was running on my work computer.  I dug through the settings and found that there is only a box checked that says something like "delete messages from the server after 7 days have recovered."

    I am familiar with mac mail but realize that I probably should imagine cela first place.

    Thanks for the suggestions!
