Windows Live Mail - emails disappeared in storage folders
During a six week holiday I've been accessing my emails from a Kindle and pretty sure I've not deleted anything, but returning home I opened Windows Live Mail to find all the storage folders intact, but the subfolders have disappeared.
i.e. If I open a folder I find all the emails under it. But if I open a folder marked 'Groups', under which there were four sub-folders (e.g. tennis, bridge, etc) then there's no emails in them. The emails under those folders are nowhere to be found.
So, going on the Internet to Hotmail, and opening my email account there, I find the storage folders intact with all of the missing emails (phew!).
How can I restore them to WLM on my PC? I've tried 'synchronisation settings' and doing manual 'send/receive' but no joy. I've checked and they're not in the 'deleted' section.
But they exist on my PC when I did a search for .eml files. In fact under App Data\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Hotmail I then find all of the sub folders entirely intact with contents. How can I restore them to the Windows Live Mail application?
So I manually created the missing sub-folders in Windows Live Mail and then tried a 'send/receive' but still no joy.
Baffled ... all advice most welcome and gratefullu received.
