after a recent crash on windows live mail, i lost all of my older emails.  i lost everything except the last 2 days.  all prior emails are gone.  how do i retrieve?

I recently upgraded from Windows Live Essentials to Windows Essentials 2012.  Now I can NOT seem to find out how to search/find an old message (i.e. by sender, recipient, subject, content, etc.).  I see the FIND button, but it only shows the TEXT search;  The "message" portion is greyed out and does NOT work.  Step by step, how do I access the message search box/feature?

Also, how do I accessmy CONTACTS for editing and the creation of groups?  In the old WLM version it had a "GO TO" menu.  I can't find a way to get to my CONTACTS list do the group management in 2012.

Your help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
