This 'Old Fart' needs help. I have used Windows Live Mail since I bought a new Samsung Laptop with Windows 8 (now 8.1) about 18 months ago. No real issues, until 8/10 weeks ago, when every time that I logged-in an error message would appear saying that my directories could NOT be located/found! Consequently, I ended up losing all of my personal files and accumulated emails. The system would download historical emails for the previous 2 days or so! I lost saved emails for the past 18 months!!

I have never been a Windows 8 fan and the past 8/10 weeks is driving to my iPad very quickly. I pay Systweaks (a Microsoft partner) to assist in issues, but after 4 attempts by them nothing has changed!

Would appreciate any help/assistance.

Thanks in anticipation,

Bob N
