| | "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. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: "Local Folders" Column Doesn't Open This will solve your problem for you. In Windows Mail main window: 1. Click View -> Layout 2. Check Folder List 3. Click OK Shawn |

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 answered here |
