Re: Lost emails in quickview inbox, but still in individual inboxe

Hello Peter,
Thanks so much for your help. Have just started using WLM and it's great
but this morning the useful Quick Views was empty. Found out to fix this in
regedit though - me not a computer buff. Still can't find out what storage
folders are - having searched everywhere for the info.

Re: Lost emails in quickview inbox, but still in individual inboxe

You don't see "Storage folders" listed in the left pane of WLMail?

The option to show the Storage folders is at View->Layout...->Folder pane->Show Storage folders [check].

Dear Peter,

Could you elaborate how to delete the registry value. I am a computer dummy.

What happens if someone mistakenly deletes a similar key in the same

Re: Lost emails in quickview inbox, but still in individual inboxe

If you are unsure about editing the registry, you could simply use PaulM's script, which will do registry edit for you.

I have examined and tested it, and found that it works well and is safe.

The download for his script can be found at http://www.paulsxp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=101
