Vista - Folders

Right, after three months somethong strange has happened in Windows Mail. The
folders on the right hand side of the screen have vanished.
(inbox,sent,deleted etc.) I can get them back by clicking on local folders
and then double clicking each one in turn. However when I close down W.M. and
start up again, I have to go through that process again. any ideas on how to
resolve this?

I tell you what, I had Outlook Express for years and it never gave me any
trouble. Why, oh why did Microsoft have to change something for the worse?

Any 'simple' help would be appreciated without mucking anything else up.

Thanks a lot

Am I the only person that this happened to as no one has been able to come
up with a reply yet?

Thanks

common denominator?

Use http://www.google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=en

Search this newsgroup microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail

Use the entry fields wisely.

HTH?

Thanks for that Mac, but sadly I am no further forward. Can any one explain
why Microsoft launched Windows Mail when clearly it is not fit for purpose.
Having read these problems on this site over the last three months it is
clearly a disgrace that these problems were not sorted before selling it to
the public. If you buy a car, tv ot whatever you expect it to be a 100%
perfect. I can not believe what has been wriiten on this site. If this was
any other product the Trading Standards Officer would have a field day.
Sorry to rant but it is so frustrating when it does not work properly. Bring
back Outlook Express.

Outlook Express won't run under Vista.

They should have waited or at the very least let Outlook Express be
compatable with Vista.

Have you really bought a new car and found it to be 100% perfect?
Stats say the average new car has 11 or more defects:

Welcome to the real world.

I did not respond to your previous post because I found it rather
confusing. I have never seen folders on the right side of the screen.
For me they have always been on the left side of the screen.

If Windows Mail does not meet your expectations, you are welcome
to upgrade to the new and improved Windows Live Mail:

Mmmm, it would be alright if W.M. had only 11 faults! However if you had
bought the said car, you would have taken it back and have it fixed. Sadly
this is not the case with W.M. as a lot of the stuff seems un fixable. If
that attitude was accepted the airoplanes would be dropping out of the sky
because there were problems with the software that was still being rectified,
if you get what I mean. So yes I am in the real world and if I am unfortunate
to buy something faulty it goes back and money is refunded. That is the law
in the U.K. I think you are missing the point, if you buy something you
expect it to work. .

I'm sure Microsoft would gladly refund the money you paid for Windows Mail.

Incidentally, they have offered a free replacement which is actually an
improvement: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
