WinMail on Win7 64: I ended with 2 "Local Folders"(and more issues)

gaita · 20 Jul 2015

Dear all:

On 6 JAN 12 I installed WinMail on 1 PC + 1 Laptop running Win 7/64 following the MORE THAN EXCELLENT Tutorial from this site.

WinMail worked fine and survived Win 7 updates/hardware changes/etc. during 3 ½ years (with help from this forum).

Few days ago I got a Win 7 start error not recoverable with Restore and I was forced to reinstall Win 7 with the Upgrade type of installation.

Almost everything worked fine with Win 7, but WinMail didn’t work.

After searching on this forum (and other sources) I opted to start all over again using the updated version of the Tutorial plus the Local Folders of my backup.
This worked fine, some of my custom folders were empty/partially empty and I "solved" (?) that using the WinMail Import function on my backup files.

WinMail is working OK now, but it ended up with:
(please take in account that my OS is in Spanish, so folders, files, etc. names maybe are not exactly as they appear on a English OS) :

2 “Local Folders”: “Local Folders” and “Local Folders (1)”
Is it a “normal” situation? If not, What to do?
Several folders with different:
- “Imported folders”
  Is it a “normal” situation? If not, What to do?
- “Recovered files”
  Is it a “normal” situation? If not, What to do?
Empty messages with “From: Not specified” and w/o text (“It is not possible to find the content of this message”) mixed/interpersed with normal messages
Is there a way to get rid of the empty messages?

TYIA for your help

.
Best regards

Actually this is an addendum to my original post.
My Yahoo email account get the following error message:
Account: 'xxxxxx', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com.ar', Protocol: POP3, Answer from server: '-ERR [SYS/TEMP] problem retrieving message.', Port: 995, Security(SSL): Yes, Server error: 0x800CCC90, Error number: 0x800CCC9

All settings of the email account are as requested and as they were before the Win 7 repair.
Furthermore those settings work OK in another laptop with WinMail on Win 7.

Any help to get this working?

Dear all:

Just in case, here is what I did to solve part of the issues:

-ERR [SYS/TEMP] problem retrieving message.', Port: 995, Security(SSL): Yes, Server error: 0x800CCC90, Error number: 0x800CCC90
Was solved deleting/discarding all emails (TOO MANY!) on my Inbox at Yahoo Webmail
2 "Local Folders" (instead of 1)
I noticed that "Local Folders" [w/o (1)] didn't change the update date and that "Local Folders (1)
Using the trial and error approach, I found that Winmail worked fine w/o "Local Folders", so I deleted it.

King regards,

Gaita
