Can't view folder pane in Windows Live Mail

Hi,

I thought I'd give Windows Live Mail a try.....I have Win XP Media Center
Edition. From Live Mail I imported my OE messages. The end result was that
when I open Live Mail I can't see the inbox, or any of the folders I created
in Outlook Express. Under Quick Views I see "Unread emails - 131,623 and
Un-read from contacts - 158"

Please advise. Thanks in advance,

sheana

Re: Can't view folder pane in Windows Live Mail

Your imported folders and messages will be within a storage folder called 'Imported items' under 'Storage folders'.

If you can't see 'Storage folders', go to View->Layout...->Folder pane->Show Storage folders [check]

If the Menu bar is not showing, go Alt+M, M

Thankyou for that, a great help. I had Storage Folders showing on 2 other
PCs, but after a complete reinstall of XP Pro on my Laptop and loading WLM I
had no Storage Folders to view.So everything is back to normal.
Cheers
