Backing up Windows Live Mail folder >>> Restoring breaks VistaIndexer?

Hi all,

I'm new to Vista and Windows Live Mail -- for Outlook Express, I used
to simply back up the store folder -- my understanding is that I can
do the same with Windows Live Mail (is that not correct?).

The problem is that, it seems, if I restore a previously saved copy of
my Windows Live Mail store folder, Vista will no longer index it.

From what I can tell, the "index this" flag for the restored folders
and files changes from checked to unchecked with a pass through the
backup/restore process.

Is it not "ok" to simply back up the Windows Live Mail store folder?
If that is ok, then how can I keep the same "index this" settings?

Thanks, -Scott

Wasn't this posted an earlier thread
"Restore Mail from backup >>> now mail isn't indexed by Vista"

The method suggested is the same(Export accounts and messages for all or
individual then , Import to a clean account).
