Question about Outlook Express

* Original Title: EMAIL ADDRESS/ACCOUNT

Hi All,

just wondering if anyone knows where to find an email address folder/Account that has disappeared from my Windows Live Mail, I had 4 email addresses set up and now one is missing, when I send an email to the missing address it seems to go through but not sure where. If anyone could please help that would be great, its only been missing for 2 weeks.

tHANK YOU

I have accidentally deleted a POP3 email account set up through the Windows 8 email client to try and solve a connection problem to my email host (on a different email address). However, I didn't realise that the folders in it where I saved all previous email weren't saved on the server but were local so have accidentally removed them all.

I can see on here solutions for getting email accounts and folders back in Windows 7 but how do I do this in Window 8? Really concerned I've lost all of these emails for good now.

I'm at my wits end here.  I'm updating my parent's computer to Office 365.  They had been using Windows Live Mail 2012, and had organized a bunch of emails into folders.

Setting up the accounts in Outlook went fine, but I can't seem to get the saved emails in the folders to come over.

I got to Windows Live Mail, select "Export" and "Exchange" as the type, and then select the specific folders I want to export.  It then exports them just fine (it certainly looks like it's exporting every email in those folders).  I was very confused for a while wondering where it exported TO because I couldn't find anything to import into Outlook... but then I noticed that all the folders just magically appeared in Outlook.  Only they're all empty.

I should point out that there are three accounts set up in each application:  two POP3 (WLM)/IMAPI (Outlook) accounts ... one for each parent ... and a combined account with their Microsoft ID/outlook.com.

All the folders are for my mom's POP3/IMAPI account, but when I exported from Windows Live Mail, the folders appeared under the Outlook.com account in Outlook instead of my mom's IMAPI account.

I've deleted those folders and tried exporting over and over again, but the folders always end up empty.

What am I doing wrong, or what can I do to get these saved emails over?  I'm only here for two more days, so I need a solution FAST.  I'm at a completely frustrated loss here.

I have Windows Live Essentials 2011, including Windows Live Mail 2011 installed.

Would updating to Windows Live Essentials 2012 retain or delete all my Essentials 2011 mail (folders and e-mail messages)?

Performing a "Clean Uninstall" and reinstall as recommended in "How-to Update Windows Live Mail 2011" sounds like it would delete my mail.

The message could not be sent. The setting for your outgoing email [SMTP] server might need to be configured. To find the server settings for '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***', please contact your email service provider.

How can this be fixed?

During my holiday I would like to transfer my basic emails (using Windows mail) to my mail account(free email). Is there a posability to make that work.
