Windows 7: WLM deleted mail folder only keeping about 1 week of mail

Hi
This is really infuriating. Where does the older mail go?

Do you have pop3 or imap?

Hotmail whatever that is?

If we are discussing the actual deleted items folder - this is, I believe, regularly cleaned at the server end. it may be possible to set this cycle time in the server settings in your profile

if you wish to keep older mails - create a folder (or several) and move from the inbox to the new folder

the deleted items folder is a last chance to recover any accidentally deleted items before they are permanently deleted.

Hotmail uses a system similar to the IMAP standard but which uses a proprietary Microsoft system, to sync the local and server copies

Just an outside chance ....
Open WLM > click your Hotmail account .....
Click at the folder which you claimed has deleted old e-mails > menu bar, View > Show or Hide > Show all messages .

Does that help at all ?

Thanks for the replies. Can you use other email providers with WLM? I thought you could only use hotmail?

You can use any that use POP3 or Imap. This includes most.
The will even tell you how to set it up at the website.
