Message store files/folders

What's the significance of having the Preview pane just up and disappear in
certain folders, not even available as a selection anymore? Or maybe I
should be asking, in what kinds of folders is that pane available? For
example, it's not available if I navigate to my message store folder
(C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail).



Also in those message store folders, what's the significance of the blue
file/folder names? How are they different form the not-blue items?

Re: Message store files/folders

The disappearance is fixed in 5365 and the blue folders are called Virtual
Folders, it stores information based on a specific topic you might have
searched for and decided save. The folder automatically updates itself with
data relating to that search query you might make a few months later. So,
you have information stored on all meeting agendas, anytime you store
information in your Documents folder or anywhere on the PC, it automatically
updates the blue folder with information on Agendas.

Like in Windows XP, blue files and folders are compressed ones.

Re: Message store files/folders

Yeah, I realized after I posted that they probably are just compressed.

Re: Message store files/folders

To clarify for others (me included , blue text labels on folders and files
indicate compression in XP and presumably Vista. Blue folder icons in Vista
are Search Folders.
