Vista Tutorial - Mail Issues

09-08-2007

I logged onto my PC two days ago and recieved a message that Windows Mail had
failed. I continued with the logon and discovered I have a Recovery file, but
there is no data in the recovered file (past emails recieved). I performed a
Recovery on my PC but the old emails are still gone.

This is the third time this problem has happened to me using Windows Mail.
Any suggestions?

Hi Bandit1,

You might consider switching to Windows Live Mail Beta instead. It supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM has a separate Inbox for each account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.)

For non-US and non-UK locations (direct download): http://g.live.com/1rebeta/WLM_en-us

If you wish to repair Windows Mail again, then do the "To Reset Windows Mail' section at this tutorial. It will get rid of the recovery files issue.

Two suggestions.
1. Get rid of non-compatible antivirus programs like McAfee and Norton.
2. Upgrade to the more stable Windows Live Mail:
