I'm trying to help a relative. Imported folders and emails were accidentally deleted and then the trash was emptied. I could reimport, but they have been added to and changed, so I would like to restore.

I located the appdatalocalMicrosoftWindows Live MailBackupnew folder. In the 'new' folder, there is a MSMESSAGESTORE file. Is it possible to restore from this? It has today's date and timestamp from this morning which would be current enough. User does not have a Microsoft account.

Windows 8.1

Windows Live Mail 2012

Thanks!

Carol
