| Guest | Re: every time I open WM, I get a new Recovered Messages folder and sub folders that are empty Your Windows Mail database is corrupted. You have two options. a. Go through the somewhat laborious "Reset Windows Mail" process: Windows Mail problems or b.

| Guest | Re: every time I open WM, I get a new Recovered Messages folder and sub folders that are empty Think of WLM as WM + bug fixes + Hotmail access. Other differences are largely cosmetic. There are a few basic differences. WLM works on both XP and Vista. WLM doesn't have a unified Inbox, it sets up separate mail folders for each mail account. WLM is receiving the benefit of ongoing Microsoft development while WM is not. Unlike here, Microsoft reps participate in WLM's newsgroup. There is no drawback to trying WLM. If you decide you don't like it, you merely uninstall it, and WM is back.

| Guest | Re: every time I open WM, I get a new Recovered Messages folder an Many thanks for this advice, it's very helpful. One question: If I change to WLM, what happens to the email folders and emails that I'm keeping in WM? Do all these automatically migrate to the proper place in WLM?
