Re: HELP PLEASE!!! Accidental deletion...

I did done all these things. Nothing worked.

I solved the problem with "Microsoft Communities" (from a previous disk
image archive - otherwise was impossible, of course I lost many e-mails
messages, received after the disk image creation date).

But I just can't solve the problem with some of the other news default
folders, inside the "Microsoft Communities".

What I'm suspected is that the I have to go empty the content of the
"Backup" folder too for everything to go back to normal (after I'll
unsubscribe to that news and close the WLM), but of course I don't dare to
do that.

I think of that due to the fact it's doing some strange things with the
"Contacts" too (I had to remove some group contacts to solve the problem -
when were recreated the old information's reappeared doesn't matter what I
tried).

Thank you very much again Peter, for all your support
Laurian
