I just moved my Windows 7 installation from a hard drive to an SSD. The whole drive was imaged by Acronis True Image 2014 and transferred flawlessly (except for some boot sector problems.) Everything seems to work fine now except my email. When I start
Windows Live Mail 2012 I get a dialog box that says this:
"Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)"
So far I have tried:
- Windows Essentials Repair from the "Programs and Features" menu
- Uninstall/Reinstall of Windows Live Mail (Windows Essentials 2012)
- Deleting the "Calendars" directory from Users{username}AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows Live Mail
I have over ten years of emails in this silly program. I would hate to lose them (they are backed up, but without Windows Live Mail they're pretty useless).
Does anybody know what "corrupt data" I have to delete to get this program running again? I don't even use the flipping calendar, so I don't know what it's complaining about. Windows Live Mail appears to produce some kind of log when it pukes, here is the most recent startup attempt:
