My Windows 10 PC froze when I tried to wake it from "Sleep" Mode. After I hard rebooted the PC, Windows Live Mail wouldn't launch. Instead, it reported errors. To paraphrase the errors, they included: "Data Folder Not Found," "Junk Filtering Not Found" and "Calendar Corrupt." I have 10+ years of emails that are involved in this mess!
I eventually figured out that if I moved my Email Message Storage to my C Drive (it was originally on my D Drive), Live Mail would launch. Unfortunately, the folder structure has been destroyed. When I open the folders that appear, they are often empty. When I find one that appears to contain information, the message descriptions look to be correct, but the preview and the actual opened messages are almost always repeats of just one unrelated email. I also tried using Backup copies of the Email Message Store, but got the same results.
Microsoft Tech Support has been nice and empathetic, and they directed me here. They assured me that, although they say Live Mail is "mostly" no longer supported, a Software Engineer for Live Mail would be available to help me in this forum. I hope that is true.
Sure could use some help from someone with experience or expertise!
