How can I retrieve a deleted Windows Live Mail Account
Hi,
I am not a computer tech guy. So, patience required by those who are. Thanks in advance.
I have two accounts set up in Windows Live Mail. The operating system is Windows 7 Professional. Everything has run very smoothly for the last three years or so. Today I tidying out the inbox for one of those accounts; deleting, transferring to folders both within Live Mail and elsewhere in the computer. On checking new email I am presented with a small pop-up box which, at a glance, I thought was the request by an e-mailer for me to acknowledge receipt of the email. I trust the email and click "Yes" I then realise that the box has changed, showing a progress bar with a green wave flowing left to right with bar steadily filling up. I then realise that it is about to delete one of my email account. With the progress bar half full I click on the "cancel" button. The box disappears but then so does my account! I scan the computer for viruses but find nothing. I use "System restore" but nothing comes back. I have looked on the internet and have found advice and instruction for people that have had the same problem but even the instructions for Windows 7 do not marry up with my system i.e. navigating to folders. I feel that there must be a difference between Windows 7 and Windows 7 Professional.
I have gone to mail2web and there is my account. i.e. I can log onto my account through mail2web and see emails still on the server, following the deletion of the account on Windows Live Mail in my computer.
Help with layman type instruction would be greatly appreciated.
Gary.
