Windows Mail - file type by default for saved messages

• How can a computer breakdown, I get my Windows Mail files?

  I was under the impression that by moving files from my server to the local folder all my emails have been saved on my hard drive. However, my hard drive crashed and I had to use data recovery to recover my files. Now I can not find the windows mail files. A tech guy told me that all my emails were actually only saved on the application not on my computer, is it true? You export the files in order to save messages? How do you do that?

  Thank you!

  Amanda

  The default location is;
  "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail".

  If you used a customer web email msgs are stored on the web messaging server, if you used windows mail applications they are saved on the disk, your tech is not very tech.

  PS This is not a backup

  To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

  1. what exactly does the type of computer not in order to solve the problem?

  2 he or she perform the upgrade on the spot or a custom Windows installation?

  Meanwhile, you can find the default location of Windows Mail and check if all files are present in the place.

  The default location for Windows Mail in Windows Vista is:

   

  C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe

  If the type of computer has upgraded the on-site, the Windows Mail folder must be present in the folder Windows.old

  Hello

  These could work and be sure to check with the manufacturer of the camera for other options.

  Use another program like the default binding for the types of files instead of the Windows Photo Gallery.

• 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.

• Windows Mail staying don't default step

  Until recently, Windows Mail was my default program for mail and newsgroups. But I've also used Outlook as another user connected to a different domain. Then I installed MS Office 97, as well as his version of Outlook, which was not compatible. So I uninstalled the old version of Outlook, and the next, I was connected to the other account, I opened the mail with the new version of Outlook. It is configured with no prompt, but then when I logged on my main account the default mail had been reset to Outlook.

  I've changed the link in the menu start of Windows Mail and when it came he asks if it should be set by default and I answered Yes. But since then if I closed and reopened Windows Mail it always reports that it is not the default.

  If I choose the utility of default programs, it shows Windows Mail (Newsgroups), but the associated files do not include e-mail (.eml) files. Outlook displays the email as not checked. Should I reinstall Windows Mail? Can it be done without a Setup disk?

  Here's how to set Windows Mail as the default email association: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/83185-windows-mail-default-associations.html.  If it is already there, then delete it and follow the instructions to add back (by the link in the article).  Note If Windows Mail is not listed, there is a link to add to the set of default programs so that you can choose it provided.

  No it's not a registry fix (well, actually it's just that we don't know where he makes the changes - which "s true of most of the applications in the control panel).  Once it is added, check it out and then click on it add as the default for everything what you want that is listed.  We hope to add this way will restore all of the default options, some of which may have been lost or corrupted (if all goes well, including electronic mail).

  In the registry key to change the default mail client is stored in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive as follows: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command].  You asked and I finally found him.  The problem is that if we knew the program we want to here instead of what is currently there, that we do not know the commands that follow the simple registration of the path.  For example, mine is Outlook 2007 and it reads: ' "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\Office12\OUTLOOK."» "EXE" - c IPM. Note/m '%1' note all entries that follow Outlook.EXE.  I have not the slightest idea of what they mean, or what would be appropriate if anything for Microsoft Mail (and enter the wrong thing could spoil Microsoft Mail completely - just not not being is not a defect but it can cause the program to function or other damage). A good rule to follow is if you don't know what you doiing in the registry, LeaVE IT ALONE.  I have looked hard for entry but can't find it anywhere.  If you go to try this despite my warnings, then first create a system restore AND registry backup point - then it may be possible to recover, everything what happens.

  A word of warning, do not use Registry cleaners, Registry Booster, fixers registry or something like that - none of them are any good, and many of them can cause a lot of damage.  If you have everything installed, removed and never to use again them if you are evaluating your registry and your system base.  It is common knowledge among the 'technicians' but is not widely published.  I've been involved in routed where it causes so much damage that we had to do a clean install as our only option.  Vista does very well on its own.  Don't risk your system by using such a program.

  There is no way to reinstall all Windows Mail.  To reinstall Windows Mail, you will need to rei - install the entire Vista operating system (there is no download separated - it is built into the system).  I don't think you want to go this route if you will not even consider a system restore.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• My 'main Windows Mail POP3 account' (the default).

  It takes all incoming e-mails from three other POP3 accounts in the Inbox of the account 'main POP3 '! How can I set up each account three e-mail to have their own box of reception, Outbox, sent items, Junk E-mail and other records as requires it? Is it because of the, 'DEFAULT' on the main account settings?

  Hi Dawnglider,

  Well, you will need to find another program or even to use message rules to divert the emails from different accounts to different folders.  I don't know any other program that will do that with Windows Mail, then maybe you need to look for other e-mail programs.  I don't quite know which have the feature of Outlook Express identities, but I'm not an expert on other e-mail programs.

  see you soon,

• How to decrease file type, save options for?

  I have options for 16 types of files when I "save under" in Photoshop. (see attachment)

  Nine of them are formats that I will NEVER, EVER use.

  While I appreciate the ability of PS to open these types, I want to simplify the list "save under" for types that I'll actually use.

  I would like to eliminate the arrow options.

  Is it possible to show me only a list of file types selection to save on?

  If we separate these os, PS, I'm OK with that because they are formats of dead to my work, even if it means that I is not no opening these formats in PS.

  (I know - I just say 'Open with' Windows, but I really don't like if I lose the opportunity to play with these types of files).

  Is it possible to reduce this list?

  Separate these types of PS in Windows (8, BTW) seems to have no effect.

  You can not.

• Inbox Windows Mail files with filesize = 0KB

  I use Windows Mail on Vista Ultimate 64-bit system. After more than a year of use, I noticed in the task manager that the CPU usage was 100% all the time Windows Mail is running. After much research, I found more than 72 000 files in the folders/Inbox whose size is 0 KB. After their removal, I have observed the normal use of the processor. However, the files of 0 KB began to reappear. I download email from POP3 servers. When comes to spam in (and I get a lot of it a server apparently unprotected) Windows Mail puts it first in the Inbox and then I see it is moved to the junk e-mail folder. After receiving the e-mail, I noticed that the number of new files of 0 KB was almost always equal, but sometimes a little less, the number of new junk emails that have been downloaded. So, I guess the 0 KB files are created as spam is available in. However, they are never deleted, unless I do it manually, and they continue to build. Is it possible to prevent them being created in the first place?

  No doubt.  Sounds a lot like an Anti Virus email scanner gone rogue.  You run one?

  Why you don't need your anti-virus program to scan your e-mail

• How to keep each "open in Windows Mail file"?

  I use "Windows Mail" folders as a workbook.  But when I open or try to put something in a folder it opens and it takes forever to get to where I want to msg to go to.  Is there anyway I keep opening for 100% and just open the subfolder that I need?

  Why have they changed it in Outlook Express, that was such a good and well-organized program?

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  If you have 10 subfolders under one main folder, you do not see them all or none. It was the same in OE. If you want to 'post a message', expand the folder tree and drag the message into the folder wanted.
   
  Unless you make to each folder a subfolder of the folder above instead of the main folder, it should not take longer to get where you're going, regardless of the number of subfolders.
