Question about Outlook Express

In Windows Live Mail under Drafts and also the subfolders under drafts . . . they are disappearing.

I have a new desktop Dell Windows 10 computer for about 5 weeks. The "Drafts" and subfolders underneath have disappeared 3 times.

I have to import them back from the exterior hard drive from the old computer back up.

Of course, I have added new ones since, of which I have lost entirely.

Why is the saved emails stored in the drafts disappearing?

My real problem is that I cannot search and select for print multiple emails in hotmail. In looking for a solution I found a suggestion that it could be done if I installed Windows Essential Mail from this site:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/essentials

I downloaded the installation executable and did a "custom install" of Windows Mail only - after about 10 minutes the download completed with a successful installation but I cannot find it in my list of programs or all programs. A search of my computer finds directories labeled "Windows Mail" but I am still not sure how to start the program or if it will even do as I hope which is to connect to my Hotmail and allow me to search and select multiple emails to print.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

I regularly send the same email with minor changes using drafts that I keep in the WLM Drafts folder.  I've been doing this for years without problems but, last week, these emails began to be rejected with the following report :

Server Error: 550

I have windows 10 with Windows Live Mail 10, my OS is Windows 7.

I am having problems with my Windows Live email application, at least I think that's the cause of the problem. I have contacted my server to see if their server was failing to delete my emails after downloading, they said they checked and the problem is not on their end as the emails do not duplicate on the server. I have 16 email addresses, 3 of which are live.com addresses, 2 MSN/hotmail accounts, 1 ymail account, 1 gmail account, 1 myspace account, and the rest of the accounts are through my server (embarqmail/CenturyLink)  ... there are no duplicate accounts, I checked today to be sure.

I receive 2-4 copies of all my incoming emails; I deleted over 1,000 duplicate emails on Feb 10th, deleted them from my junk folder and deleted them from my deleted folder. I have done this repeatedly in the past also. But when my email program, Windows Live Mail, checks for emails again the deleted files are downloaded in my email program again ... I keep deleting the files but they dont appear to get deleted on the server ... please help. I am drowning in duplicate files ...

The server tech gave me a website to check my Windows Live Mail settings, but when I follow the posted procedure (http://internethelp.centurylink.com/internethelp/email-setup-in-windows-mail-edit-settings-1.html) I cant click on properties as it is grayed out.

Thank you for any help you are able to offer ...
