Windows 7 - I keep losing most of my folders in windows live mail

Franfleet · 06-20-2011

I keep losing most of my folders in windows live mail - sometimes they return but the management of them is a complete mystery e.g what purpose do the arrow heads on the left of the screen perform>

Hello Franfleet,

The arrows to the left of mail box folders are to expand (open) and unexpand (close) the folder. The solid black arrow indicates that it's expanded open, while the while outlined arrow indicates the folder is not expanded. You would click on them to expand and unexpand the folder.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thank you Shawn. All I have to do now is see if I can find my missing folders. AT the bottom of the foldrers list it says 'recovered folders' and I can find them separately but am unable to see how to return them the the list of folders on the left of the screen. 73 FF:: (ZL1WV)

You should be able to either "drag and drop" or "right click on and Move" them back into the email account.

The recovered folder usually happens when there is database corruption due to a improper shutdown of WLM. For example, shutting down Windows 7 without closing WLM first.
