I opened Windows Live Mail and found all my folders missing, deleted items before today gone and nothing in the sent items folder. It appears that all the emails I had in my specific folders were moved back to the Inbox and I can still open them. Of course without the specific folders all the message rules are also missing the specified folder and will not work until fixed. I noticed automatic compacting took place when I last closed WLM.
I have now unchecked the box for compacting. However, I do not understand why compacting would delete my folders. Does anyone know why? Also is compacting designed to automatically delete and remove everything in the sent and delete folders?
Finally, does WLM have a recovery method to return me to the point immediately before compacting? Sure would save me a lot of time.
