missing folders

I recently changed from Windows Mail to windows Live Mail as my default mail
system. all seems well except three of my folders do not appear on the mail
page. I can find them by search so they still exist but I really want them
on my email page. I do have quite a few different folders to manage my mail.
Is there a limit.?

can you help?

Re: missing folders

Sorry, I have no clue why you can't see three of your folders.

Re: missing folders

Either the messages in these folders were migrated into WLMail when you
installed it, or they weren't.
If they were, you may find them in Storage folders (View > Layout > Folder
pane > Show Storage folders) buried in a folder called Imported items. Use
the little triangle to the left of a folder name to expand/compact the
folder structure.
If they weren't, then use File > Import > Messages and navigate to the
folders you wish to import. They will probably end up in the same place in
Storage folders.
I don't know of any limit to the number of folders you can have, nor the
number of levels of folders within folders (except under HTTP accounts,
where folders within folders don't work). I once tried and got to nine
before getting bored.
