"Local Folders" Column Doesn't Open

I'm very new to Vista and can't understand why my "Inbox - Windows Mail
window does't display the "local folders" column on the left side of the
window. I'm currently trying to open a deleted message without any success.

Hi John,

This will solve your problem for you.

In Windows Mail main window:
1. Click View -> Layout
2. Check Folder List
3. Click OK

What happened to you is you somehow got "show folders column" turned off by
some manipulation of keys that was unknow to you. It also happened to me.
Here is how you fix it
1. Open the mail program
2. Open the view heading
3 select Layout
4. under this heading you will see the first box is the "Folder list" box
5. put a check mark in the box by clicking in the box, then say ok and close
out the window... and walla presto your folder column will be back
permanently.

happy computing... this area is really neat... i have got several questions

Not possible because "view heading" does not show up, because window mail
starts wit "inbox"
