Copy the mail folder, blow away the other one, let WinMail create a new one
and drag and drop the messages back into WinMail.

Tools | Options | Advanced tab | Maintenance button | Store Folders button
will show the location of the message stores.

Make sure antivirus software is not set to scan email. See
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 It appears to be causing huge problems for
WinMail.

It would help if you gave a little more history. Is your problem
with the Windows Mail program, and if so, did it ever work
for you? A first step would be to configure your anti-virus program
to quit scanning email. If that doesn't fix the issue, you will have to
delete the MessageStore using directions found elsewhere in this
newsgroup.
As a last resort you may have have to use web mail or an alternate
email program until such time as the problems with Windows mail
are sorted out.

Won't that leave me open to email viruses?

I don't know, I just lost and recovered all my folders when I transferred
them to this new system, I have alot of important folders, its just very
frustrating to do all this work for such a new system and the ease it
promised.
What do you mean? Copy the folders and then delete the folders and re-put
them in again?
Thanks

I guess it is with the windows mail program. It works when it wants to.
Sometimes it won't delete, sometimes it wont show me whats in the folders,
saying "nothing to view" and I know theres stuff there. Sometimes it wont
send my emails saying"error". VERY, VERY frustrating.
I'm afraid to change my virus setting, (and should I have to?) Windows Mail
is a complete letdown

No. Read the link. Email scanning is completely redundant as all antivirus
software is sitting in memory ready to grab any attachment you open that
might have a virus. You don't need it at all to scan email. Read the link
below and read Frank's messages.
