Question asked on Sep 25, 2015

Hello,

   I've been having problems with Windows Live Mail since installing Windows 10 (and soon after uninstalling). I am now back to using Windows 7 with Classic Shell (I'll not go into my problems with Windows 10 here and now -- but they were bad too!!)

   My problem now is that every time I start Windows Live Mail there's a box saying it is recovering the date base.

   Another, no doubt related, problem is that I cannot delete items in the deleted and spam folders by emptying the folders in the usual way. I have to delete each message separately, and even then "unknown errors" often occur and I can't delete the items even singly.

  The result is that the spam and deleted folders keep filling up with old messages each time I start the program;, and I just can't keep up with the number of deletions that become necessary.

I have tried repairing and also reinstalling the program through Windows Essentials, but the same problems keep coming back.

Thanks in advance any help
