I recently lost all e-mails, subfolders, and the accounts they were part of. There's nothing on the folder pane above "outbox". After reading through some of these support questions/answers I did see under Storage Folders where there are now Recovered Items. The recovered items do seem to contain all of the e-mails although not 100% sure. So before I try to move the recovered e-mails back to their proper locations folder etc., how do I reestablish proper accounts? Along with the subfolders?

I did read were there  is  some way of restoring previous version of the  Windows live mail folder.  Would that likely restore everything  back where it was, especially the  e-mail accounts info,  subfolders etc.

How did this happen in the first place ?  thanks very much.         --Joe
