Can't open or move email

When I try and open my email it say "There was an error opening this message" and when I try and move the email I get "error 0x00000000" I have a 64 bit OS and I did a memory check which said my memory is OK.

What are you using to read and move your email?

~Lordbob

What everyone else is using for Windows 7 "Windows Live Mail" If there is a better email program please let me know.

I use live email and recommend to all newbees. works great, as far as im know.

what do you mean open and move.
open first then you can saveas some where but move is only within the email it self... like make a new folder and move to.

normally "There was an error opening this message" means the message is not there, or you failed to shutdown email properly and the email is now garbled or the email has been deleted and the header is still in your file. due to improper shutdown.

When I first loaded Windows 7 the OS pointed me to "windows Live Mail" I could use hotmail and a lot of others but I prefer to use the one that the os recommends.

When you double click on an email it opens up and you can read it.
You can creat a folder and "Copy" all of your email to that folder for archiving.

open first
Can't

I understand you and I can move within the email but as I said I can't copy them to a folder which is what I do about once a week for archiving

like make a new folder and move to.
No problem there

That could be correct however this has never happen to me in all the years I have been using email. I can open up a send to myself email and an old email. So I have about a dozen emails which I can't open and your saying just delete them because they are no longer there? So how do you prevent this from happening again?

2. open your active email account : sample: joeblow@att.net loginto your email there and see if it is actually there.
3. move to your cached email folder: view be detail and see if you can find that email... not named the same.
4. Have you defraged lately. have you checked to see if any files are crosslinked.?
So how do you prevent this from happening again? never 100% positive way... insure you always shut down live mail properly-that is hard to do also. move your email cached to a different HDD location from default. Preferred a different HDD or partition. I never loose EMAil because it is cached on a different HDD.

I think when I rebooted my email might have gotten corrupt because my CPU's seem to be working overtime and nothing was being downloader that I could see. However I put in my Vista OS and got all of my email for the last week right from my ISP provider. I archive my emails just in case something like this or a crash email then I have them all in the next hard drive or other computer. I can even open my email with Word 2007 from the archive folder. I just love redundancy. I think it might be a good idea to have my email cached on a different HDD and to shut it down before re-booting. I’ve been out for 6 years so I’m not up to date on the different kinds of email programs so should I stick with “Windows Live Mail”?
