Question asked on Nov 20, 2013
I had some sort of computer glitch and lost about a month worth of emails that were sitting in my 'deleted' folder.  Before the glitch (I hope) I had made a backup of all my emails using these instructions:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/mail-import-backup-restore

Now I am trying to import those backup emails back into WLM.  I'm just importing one folder (the 'deleted' folder), not all the emails that I backed up.  When I go through the import process, it shows a screen indicating that it is importing +/-2000 emails but once it's done, there are no additional emails in my deleted folder.  I've tried it 3 or 4 times but no luck.  Any ideas?
