I was trying to get rid of "extra" files under Storage Folders and after three days of tinkering, I have managed to delete many of them once and for all after multiple deletes of delete folders.  I was able to find and restore some, but now they appear under imported and recovered items, and I can see but not open emails in some of the folders.  I have tried moving folders out from under imported and recovered to directly under Storage Folders, but the program won't let me.  My folders have now grown quite extensive, but I am afraid to try anything else.

Also, I am now starting to open message titles that open to completely different messages that might be a year older and completely  not related!

I am using Windows 8.1 with Windows Live Mail 2012.  Thanks for any help you can offer.
