Recently I could not log in in my hotmail account I used for years. I think it has been removed by Microsoft. Probably because I did not use the account for quite some time. Now I might have lost all my mails stored in the mail folders of that old account. I
really would like to have these files restored. They contain valuable information for me. Please help!
READ ONLY Windows Mail won't import. I change the attribute but it still says Read Only
I am trying to import Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail from a backup hard drive location. The files are marked Read Only. I saw that the attribute must be changed from READ ONLY. I changes it, but when I check the Property again the READ ONLY attribute
remains after the change. Import says successful but folders are empty. How do I get rid of READ ONLY. All my permissions are set full control.
When I import, it says successful import instantly, but all folders are empty -nothing is imported. Do I nedd to change the READ ONLY attribute of the copied Mail folders and how do I do it. When I change it, it process the files over 10 minutes, but
the properrty attribute does not change. HELP. I need to get my mail back.
Used Windows Easy Transfer to export the content from a Vista system running Win Mail Target is a new Win 7 system running Live Mail.
Successfully did the export to a flash drive. At least I'm assuming that I did because Easy Transfer told me it was successful.
Moved the flash drive to the new system. Double clicked the Easy Transfer file on the flash drive and it launched the import. Again, I got a progress bar and a confirmation that the import succeeded.
When I went to look for the transferred folders in Live Mail, they weren't there The data folders transferred OK but not the mail store On a hunch, I used Live Mail's email import tool. I responded to the Question box looking for the input format with the fact that the input would be in Win Mail Format. It found the Easy Transfer file on the flash drive as it found that it contained email. I assumed that it would put it in Live Mail's mail store. So the fact that it didn't ask me where I wanted to put it didn't seem odd.
The mail import took off and showed me a series of message boxes with progress bars--one for each folder that was on the old system. It finished without error and I went into Live Mail to admire Easy Transfer's handywork. Needless to say, it wasn't anywhere to be found.
Anybody have any ideas as to where Live Mail's import tool might have put the mail? It told me that the import succeeded but no clue as to where the imported mail folders went. Even an idea as to what file extension Live Mail uses for the folders would help as that might let me find them with search.
Thanx in advance.

I havent sign in to Hotmail for sometime, and now I need some of my important mails. All of my mail folders are just gone as if they had never been there! How can I get my mails back? Please!
I have a question about how to get a ‘On My Computer' Folder.
I currently have:
Inbox
----My Mail accounts are listed under here
Drafts
Sent Items
Deleted Items
My Mail Folders are listed here. This includes new mail folders and the mail folders imported from Entourage 2008
Junk E-mail
Smart Folders
----Subfolders
I do not have a On My Computer folder, so all my Mail folder are on the same level as Inbox, Drafts, etc.. How do I get a On My Computer folder?
Thanks.
I'm trying to better organize (and understand) my mail folders. The current setup looks like this:
Inbox
- Company_Name
- On My Computer
Drafts
- Company_Name
- On My Computer
Sent Items
- Company_Name
- On My Computer
Deleted Items
- Company_Name
- On My Computer
Company_Name
- Conversation History
- quarantine
- RSS Feeds
- Sync Issues
- Subscribed Public Folders
Junk E-mail
Smart Folders
- Flagged Mail
- High Priority Mail
- Overdue Mail
This is for a corporate Exchange account. I have a rule setup (called Auto Archive) that says "If date received greater than 60 days, move message to Inbox (On My Computer)"
Corporate policy is to remove mails from the Exchange server greater than X days old, so this archives them in my 'Inbox (On My Computer) folder.
A couple of issues/questions:
1) Sent items > 60 days old *also* end up in the 'Inbox (On My Computer) folder. How can I have Sent Items get archived in 'Sent Items (On My Computer)'?
2) Given the folder hierarchy outlined above, if I wanted to create a 'Reference' folder for items I want to keep but require no response, where would I create it?
3) Also, if I were to create a rule to for mails from distribution lists to go into a specific folder or rules for moving messages where I'm in the To: or CC: field, where should that folder get created?
I'm confused as to whether they should reside under the Inbox somewhere or within the second grouping of folders (Conversation History, quarantine, etc.).
Thanks!
