Recovered Messsages folder keeps appearing ...

I've recently had to rebuild my message store by deleting the
WindowsMail.MSMessageStore files etc. This worked OK but, everytime I now
start Mail, a Recovered Messsages folder is created. This has various
sub-folders, all of which are empty. I can delete the folders, but how can I
stop them being created?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

That method, deleting WindowsMail.MSMessageStore files is not
recommended, precisely because of what happened to you.
Your message store is now corrupted.

The best solution at this point is to upgrade to the newer
Windows Live Mail:
