Windows Live Mail Problem

I updated my OS from XP to Windows 7 with a fresh install, saving wanted files into what 7 calls "Windows Old". This included Oulook Express 6 my then email account.
I imported the folders from OE6 into Windows Live Mail with no problems including my "Local Folders".
However, without warning these local folders just disappeared from WLMail. Successfully imprted them again but they still do not show up in Windows Live Mail when I need them to.
Any solutions please?
Thank you.

It can't hurt and it's easy to do: Repair WLE. Go to Programs and Features, highlight Windows Live Essentials, click uninstall/change at the top, and choose "repair" in the next window. It will repair all components of WLE that were installed, including Mail.

Open WLM > left side, folder list, scroll down and locate Storage Folders under which is Imported Folder. Open it . What do you see ?

Afraid this din't work.

Decided to go with Thunderbird and imprting folders and contacts was no problem.
Windows Live Email is just a pain in my experience.

Gentlemen,
Not sure that someone will see my message, but I am trying anyway.
I run Windows7 and therefore Windows Live Mail.
Two days ago I sent 2 e-mails and the message I got was that it is being executed. After 2 days the same applies and I cannot get into Windows Live Mail in order to stop the process. Every time I click on the WLM, this sub-window pops up (attached for your convenience)
Please be kind enough to tell me how I can rectify the situation.
Thanking you most sincerely.

Do you 2 e-mails you were trying to send consist of large attachments ?
If yes, how large ?

In any event, open WLM > click Home tab > click Work Offline > go to your Outbox > are there e-mails stuck there ? If yes, delete them.

Thx for replying t-4-2,

The problem is I am unable to access WLM. When I click on the icon to open it up, the above window appears immediately.

No attachments whatsoever on either of the 2 mails.

Go to your webmail site, see what have happened to the 2 mails you were trying to send. Also, perhaps it is time to clear out the read mails still in the web server.

If nothing doing, my only suggestion, the one you may not like to hear, is to ......
uninstall > reinstall WLM.
