| | Re: unable to open any mail See the section on WinMail here: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm Its not clear what you did, but the messages should still be there okay. Try repairing the database using my WinMail Utility (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and see if that fixes the issue. If not, you may need to reset the database. steve "sp136jw" <sp136jw.37kqge@xxxxxx-mx.forums.vistaheads.com> wrote in message news:sp136jw.37kqge@xxxxxx-mx.forums.vistaheads.com...
