| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Windows Mail Low Memory or Disk Space Hello, have done a search on this issue, but I cannot find the right answer. Here is the problem description: Computer running Windows Vista Home Premium EN HDD: 120 GB in two partitions each of ~60GB. 2048 MB RAM I've switched from XP to Vista, thus from OE6 to Windows Mail. I have a lot of folders to organize my emails. I imported my emails from OE6 to Windows Mail without any problem. It worked fantastic for a while then: The problem: When I opened Windows Mail I got a shock none of the folders were there anymore except for the Inbox. The inbox has no emails in it. When I clicked on the Inbox folder a message appears in the mail preview pane, saying the message could not be displayed "not enough memory or disk space. I tried the following but all in vain: 1. I went to look at the store folder. I was glad to see everything was still intacted. I copied the whole Windows Mail folder to my desktop for backup. Since the store folder was empty, Windows Mail will recreate the store when Windows Mail restarts. I worked and I had all the normal folders back. I then imported the mails from the backup I made and all the old folders were back again. I was releaved but only for a short while everything was normal until I opened and closed Windows Mail for about 5 times. Then again NO FOLDERS, NO MAILS, just the message telling me not enough Disk space. 2. I thought maybe their is something wrong on the partition C: and I moved the Message store to partition D: . It didn't help. 3. I raised the virtual memory manually, which is by default controlled by Windows, from 1.5Gb to 3Gb which should be more than enough. Before doing this I did check the Performance tab in the Windows Task Manager to see if all the physical memory was all used up, but there was still enough left. Please help. |

If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee, or a recent one from Trend, tend to cause such problems, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember where to find the fix - you are likely to need it again. |
