Question asked on Feb 8, 2016

 I need to recover email addresses and previously set up email storage folders in Live Mail. A  month ago I upgraded from win 7 to 10 with no problems, in particular Live Mail worked fine. A few days ago windows consistently crashed after reaching the desk top, the offered solutions such as restore also failed and I had to re-install win 10. I had to do this a couple of times until I found the trouble which seemed to be an outdated version of my antivirus.  Before upgrading to win 10 I did a file backup with the windows tool onto an external hard drive.

With the re-installation of win 10 I have lost my email addresses and the folders I had set up containing saved emails. Can you suggest how to  get them back?  Would they have been included in the win7 backup ? If so I  do not know what the files would be called and where to find them. Thanks, David
