Question asked on Mar 22, 2018

Not sure if I have the right category here. Two related questions am having problems with WLM. It won't open some emails and you have to drag them to deleted mails even to delete them. I have lots of mails over years in folders. If I uninstall Windows Essentials and reinstall will the emails still be there or will they be deleted? I am aware that I can export the emails and reimport but this seems to leave the lot, in the correct folder structure in a folder called old emails. It is the devils job to get them out of that folder into the original structure. You can't just move all the folders to the top level; you have to set up each folder again and copy all the emails in the corresponding folder into it. 

Related question. Since WLM no longer seems to be supported is there another desktop client I can migrate to and keep the emails in the original structure?
