Original Title : Duh?

I can't access my email through anything other than Time warner webmail which is incredibly lame now that I have had windows email for so long. I had to do an upgrade to windows Pro from vista.  the whole system has given me nothing but fits since day one with Vista. I have no respect and very much contempt for micro soft as I believe they are the root cause of the problems I have been having. What do I have to do, what hoop did I miss? What caused my email to dissappear? Why doesn't / Didn't it reestablish itself as did everything else? Is there a trick I am missing to get my 17000 pieces of mail back in the file system I set up? Or am I just screwed? My Windows email won,t even go online! what do I need to do?
