Hallo_Microsoft_–_I_need_help

Every time the “recovery” occurs I notice new folder titled Recovered M xxx
(x could be a letter or digit) that is added to Local Folders listing.

You are quoting a rather old reply of mine, and the advice offered
there is no longer current.
The best advice I can give you currently is to upgrade to Microsoft's
replacement for Windows Mail:

If you reside outside the US, use the direct download link:

Move the entire contents of the message store to a subdirectory under
Documents. Then start WinMail and it will start fresh. Once its working,
then you can use File | Import | Messages and point to the moved directory
to get the messages back.

No one knows if Microsoft will ever release official fixes for WM.
My guess is that they will be forced to do something in conjunction
with releasing Service Pack 1 for Vista, but that may not happen
until much later this year.

When you install the WLM beta, it automatically imports all emails,
accounts and settings from WM. It also removes the shortcuts for
WM, so that people won't be confused by seeing two different email
programs on their computer. It doesn't delete any WM data or files,
and uninstalling WLM automatically restores WM as your primary
email program. It's a win-win proposition.

I have the same message upon system startup. I had Windows Mail and started
encountering problems with it (can't delete e-mails from Inbox). Then I
downloaded Windows Live Beta. How do I get rid of this message regarding
Windows Mail? I have done the MessageStore search and delete but it keeps
coming back. Any help is greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more
info.

I don't understand. If you downloaded and installed Windows Live Mail,
how can you still be getting error messages from Windows Mail?

Because you tell people to get WLM to fix the WM problems.

I repeat, how can you get a Windows Mail error message if
Windows Mail is not running? It would have to be a
Windows Live Mail error message.
"Joey" was not real clear, but seemed to indicate he was getting
an error message from WM.

I am no longer getting error messages. I have switched back to Windows Mail
temporarily (until it gives me more problems and/or I am going to get rid of
McAfee). How do I get WM to stop putting a "Recovered Messages" folder in
Local Folders? I really do appreciate everyone's assistance.

You can't get WM to stop putting up "Recovered Messages" folders,
which is one of the reasons I advise people with severe WM problems
to switch to WLM.
Your continued insistence on running McAfee is not helping the situation.

I tried various things mentioned but one extra problem is that it won't
let me delete or move or rename the message store because it says it is
"open an another program" but of course I closed winmail and all other
programs!!!!

Any help greatfully received!!

Do a CTRL-SHIFT-ESC and endtask the WinMail.exe process. Then you can move
the message store.
