I tried WIN-10, hated it. Too many problems. Went back to WIN-7 Pro.

My problem, Live Mail downloaded 11400+ e-mails to my machine! I mean mail that went back to last year! I thought Live Mail only kept the last 30 days . . .

Thousands of duplicate e-mails; most doubling the originals that don't display ( Live Mail didn't shut down correctly "can't display" error). I didn't shut it down, I tried WIN-10, and went back to WIN-7.

Now I can't delete any of those old e-mails that are 'locked' in the duplicate folders.

I was able to move some folders to the delete file, but they will not delete completely. System asks "Are you sure, etc.", but doesn't do anything.

I was thinking about re-installing Windows Live Mail program.

I do not want the same thing happening with the thousands of e-mails.

Advice? Anyone???
