Hi guys/girls

I have set the storage folder for live mail to the main (raid 1) drive, few month ago.  That drive died while live mail was open ( live mail was installed in C: default location).  I went and shut down and rebuild the raid.  After the rebuild the live mail open with my account but all email and email account disappear. After some investigation i find the live mail have reset and is now using the default live mail folder storage location C:UsersnameAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows Live Mail.  I have all the account detail, email, email account etc in the folder that suppose to be in.  K:nameWindows Live Mail.  How can I make live mail reuse the account in K: drive with out adding each email account in, one by one. and with out importing all the email back in one by one?

I had many folder in each email account.  When you import the email it goes back into the folder but it in meaningless number and letters 79HH344GHBJK.  As you can see i can no longer able to access the original live mail before it reset.  I can no longer able to rebuild with all the folder intact with the proper name etc.  I cant even rename it because i don't know what the original name was.
If anyone have similar experience or know how to fix this.  Please share that info with me.  I really appreciate it.

Thanks you!
