Before restoring the files in the original Windows Mail folder, it might pay to make all hidden files and folders visible, including extensions, etc, as per Footnote 4 of the tutorial, and instead of pasting over, delete all files. This is just in case any rogue files have been introduced which are not contained in the original folder, and which would not be deleted or amended by a copy over.Then install a virgin copy of the original files.
Just to make sure we're covering all bases, if your platform is 64bit Windows 7, there are two sets of Window Mail files. One 32bit and one 64bit. I assume you've been working in the normal 64bit Program Files and not the 32bit Program Files(x86)? Even so, probably best to delete all files in both folders and restore with the appropriate 32 and 64bit files.
As a last resort short of reloading your OS, you could delete all updates, and then try reloading SP1 which includes all previous updates. If that failed, then manually download all previous updates and forget about SP1. The result will be the same.
Sorry can't help anymore than that. Good luck. PB
