Question asked on Oct 19, 2014

After a system crash (Windows 7) I was faced with the need to restore my email files from backup. I restored my files to a separate folder under Documents. My backup was from C:>Users>MyName>AppData>Local>Microsoft>Windows Live Mail. While the recover process was running, I could hundreds of email files being downloaded. However, when I went to view my recovered files in the destination folder, I went to C:>Users>MyName and all I could see is "This folder is empty." I can't get beyond MyName. 

How can I get to my restored email files?
