• loss of the contents of the 'sent items' folder in windows mail

  Somehow all my emails sent in the 'sent items' folder of windows mail have been dumped. It's the second time that this has happened almost two years, I've been using vista. I checked to make sure that "show all messages" is accused in the "current view" for this folder. What could have caused this? These messages are recoverable? I often see messages sent from various pieces of information and would like to have them back.

  I suggest you go after that each file previous e-mail from the Windows directory where they are stored (and not only the sent items folder) and bring them into a separate file.  Then open with your e-mail program to access the sent items folder that it contained - but I now see that Windows Mail does save all emails in a file separated as it happens with Outlook using a PST file to store emails, but rather to the separate folderr, but I think they can be stored as .eml files as well as in folders so it is still possilble).  I read what follows in another post: "Windows Mail stores mail in files .eml, a file for each message, more more information about messages came together in a single file over (sorry, I don't remember his name)." I think that there is also a file for each folder. All these files are, by default, hidden - which means that you must activate the search for hidden and system files when looking for them. "I don't know for certain if this is accurate or if it will help, but it can mean that snapshots might work if you go after types of file using Windows Explorer and not Windows Mail.  But I think that one of the following products will work better (and faster) since some seem to be capable of managing entire folders at the same time.

  Here are a number of free file recovery programs that may be able to help you.  Try them in the suggested order.  For this you will need to at least know the name of the folder and perhaps file names (or least their extensions - although in some cases that is perhaps not necessary).  I am not sure if these will work with Windows Messaging files, but I think that it's worth it to check a few is:

  http://www.watchingthenet.com/recover-deleted-files-folders-in-Windows-with-free-undelete-utility.html (try this one first because it says it can recover entire folders and then you do not have to know the names of files)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (try Recuva second - it is the best for general file recovery and can also operate in this case).

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (if you wan't to keep trying, try this next.)  If it doesn't work, the chances of the any of these work programmes is very thin but you can try as much as you want).

  Here is a commercial program which claims can be done, but it costs $99: http://www.diskinternals.com/mail-recovery/.

  Here's another commercial program that costs $69: http://www.vistafilerecovery.com/email-recovery.

  Here's another commercial program that costs $50: http://www.emailadept.com/Windows-Mail-Recovery.htm.

  Here's another commercial program that costs $40: http://www.tech-pro.net/windows-mail-recovery.html.

  I hope that one of the free programs can help, but if not, then I hope one of the commercial products helps if you want to spend money on recovery.  I don't recommend commercial products - I don't know any one of them and just offer them as an option.  Most include a free trial where you can see what you are able to get it back before you actually buy it so the risk in these cases is minimal - but I'm not entirely sure how they will interact with your system - once again, I only offer them upward in option and you should use them at your own risk.  Regiarding all of the 3rd party software, Microsoft does not recommend this product and you install and use at your own risk.

  Honestly, I hope that you are able to recover your lost emails using one of the above programs.

  Good luck!

• Why has my direct mail ceased to save to the sent items folder?

  A few days ago (28/01/12), my windows live mail has ceased to retain one of my sent items.  I can't find any option that might have been operated inadvertently.  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  If you use the version of WLM 2011...
  Click the sent items folder > above, click View > custom views > under description of view #2, make sure that it is said to Show the message. If she hide the message, click on the word Hide and in the zone of the pop-up window, click Show the message > OK when finished.

  If you use the version of WLM 2009 > in my opinion, it goes like this > sent items folder > in the Gil, click View > click View Cureent > click Show all messages. (I use version 2011. Is not sure of the exact wording in the 2009 version).

• Outlook Express 6 problem: send an email I get an error message and the email is not put in the sent items folder

  Outlook Express 6, Windows XP SP 3

  Problem: send an email, I get an error message and the email is not put in the sent items folder while the email (and attachments, if any) are successfully delivered to the recipient.

  The full error message is always useful, but I'm sure you have damaged dbx files.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  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.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  Compact often as specified above.

• Windows Live Mail sent emails do not appear in the 'Sent items' folder

  original title: sent Mail not in the folder

  I've just set up Windows Live Mail on a new laptop using Windows 7 Outlook came not with my desktop software. Why don't emails I send appear in my folder "sent items"?

  Sorry to have troubled you - problem solved. To set up my new Windows Live Mail I thought I need to establish a Windows Live account, so I did. Is not familiar with the presentation of Windows Live Mail, I didn't know that there are two accounts on the left side and one has been expanded, the Windows Live Mail account. My Westnet email accounts has been listed but not developed. As soon as I expanded it here, he had the sent mail another folder which included my recently sent emails! Outside of embrrassed, glad it is resolved.

• How to remove the elements in the "Deleted items" folder using Microsoft Windows Mail?

  This used to work, but I was not able to remove items from the deleted items folder and it takes a lot of space.  I used to be able to do it and it automatically deletes the items when I closed Windows Mail (it is always set up to do, incidentally, does not yet), but now it does not work. I've tried everything. I used the link at the top of the page coming down and clicked on "Empty Deleted Items Folder", but it does not work.

  I tried to download Windows Live Mail and it won't work on my computer.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Maybe could turn the setting and then turn again. Sometimes it works, but I wouldn't be surprised if she did not help, or if you have already tried.

  Take note of the following:

  1. I've never used only 8 years old, Windows Mail
  2. Windows Mail is not supported.

  The deleted items folder has a clean button on it? This can empty it completely. Another thing to consider is that your e-mail service can remove items deleted periodically. However, as you say, it takes place, so you can delete them manually.

  Alternatively, you can consider changing the e-mail programs. You said that Windows Live Mail did not work. You can try an older version, because I don't think not 2012 works on Vista (based on absolutely no evidence, by the way) another option to consider is Mozilla Thunderbird. If you have Microsoft Office and it includes Outlook, certainly use it.

  That's the only advice I have. If this does not help, I don't have anything else for you.

• Windows Mail is permanent deletion of messages rather than put it in the deleted items folder

  When I delete messages from my Windows Mail, they leave in cyberspace, not in the deleted items folder.    I checked the settings of Maintenance, and there is no instructions to delete messages.    Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

• Messages do not automatically moved from the Outbox to the sent items

  Hello. Everything worked fine until 08:00 this morning.

  Now, when I send an email, it is sent but is not automatically moved from Outbox sent items. So, I get an error message (but no error code. He says only: "some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks"). Because the message remains in the Outbox if there is another message to send that it will send the first once again, and then the second, then the first again, then the second again, etc. The only way I can work around it must manually move each e-mail sent from the Outbox to sent items.

• I take a match to open an e-mail from some of my sent items, Windows Mail stops.

  I take a match to open an e-mail from some of my sent items, Windows Mail stops.  All other open normally. The same thing happens when I try to open the folder that contains e-mail messages and from this contact.

  original title: Windows Mail problem

  Do you have any background scanning enabled?  This could be what hangs WinMail.  I don't see what else would break WM when you select only the message in the preview pane, as the body of the message is not yet loaded then.  You could try to disable antivirus and highlight the message with invalid preview pane later, just to see if it stops.

  I would offer to watch this message if you could it send me in attachment, but apparently you wouldn't be able to do it without crashing.
