About a month ago I installed Windows 10 on my computer but reverted back to Windows 7 Home Premium right away. I didn't like it at all. When I went back to Win 7 I had 11,000 emails many dating back more than 10 years in my Inbox. I went through most of them, keeping a few of them. I have since noticed every email in the Storage Folder displays "Message cannot be found. The contents of this message cannot be found. Windows Live Mail" in the body of the message.

I tried these solutions found in this forum but nothing has worked.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

1. Restart the computer (this is to ensure that Live Mail is fully shut down, and that none of it's components are in use when the computer starts)

2. Click Start, type CMD but do not press enter

3. You will see cmd.exe in the search results, right click on it and select Run as Administrator - type your admin password if asked, and if UAC pops up asking premission, allow it

4. You should now see the command prompt, with the following displayed:

5. Copy the following (Ctrl+C)

Note: the "" are necessary

6. Right click in the command prompt Window, and select Paste, so you now see the following:

7. Press enter. esentutl will now defragment the Live Mail database file

8. Once done, you can close the command prompt, and restart the PC again

Second Suggestion:

Click Start then go to Control Panel.

Under Programs, click Uninstall a Program and select Windows Live Essentials 2011 then click Uninstall/Change located at the top.

On the next dialog, select Repair all Windows Live programs.
