If you are hoping to get rid of the "Recovered items" folders that keep appearing it wont work. I keep deleting these folders but they always return. When I first noticed them I thought it was because I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista, but I did a clean install of Windows 7 and then Windows Live Mail and I still get 'recovered' folders appearing. |

Select ' Show Storage folders '. In the left pane click on Storage Folders to drop the list. Open out ' Recovered items '. I have a list of dated folders and messages but have no clue as to why they need to be recovered. I never get any notification about corrupt messages or whatever. After I delete them they gradually get re-written with more random newsgroup messages. |
