Thanks for the link Gary. I will upgrade this weekend.

know how
this happened. Anyway, thanks to Steve and Hal. I really appreciate
you
guys.
Take care,

Open Windows Explorer to the directory of eml files. Then open
WinMail
and
create a new folder and go to that new folder so that it shows an
empty
message list. Then select an eml file and drag it from the
Explorer
window
overtop the message list and drop it and it will get incorporated
into
that
folder. Once you get that working, you can select all the eml
files and
drag and drop them all at once, as long as they are only eml files.

Also, go to Control Panel | Folder Options | View and uncheck the
option
to
hide extensions for known file types so that you can more readily
distinguish the eml files.

No, nothing there. I think I know what happened. I was cleaning
up
the
icons on my desktop to folders. There was a folder called New
Folder
and
I
moved it to a Web Favorites folder on my desktop and that is
where my
messages are hiding. What the heck happened? I don't even know
where
this
folder came from. So, how do I get the msgs back ? Will the
copy/paste
method work ?
Thank you!

How about the "Hide" selections (Read messages, Read or Ignored
messages,
and Answered messages), are they all UNchecked? If any of these
have
checkmarks, you will be hiding messages from view.

Hi Hal,
Show All Messages is checked. Any other suggestions?
Thank you!

'View|Current View', make sure you don't have any of the
"Hide
messages"
selections checked and that "Show All Messages" is checked.

Help! Today, I started Windows Mail and there was ZERO
messages.. I
have
dozens of folders and hundreds of messages. I don't know
what
happened.
I
did a search for .eml and thankfully, they are there. But
how do
I
get
them
back into my folders? I had to re-create my account and I
received
just
current emails. How do I get all my folders and emails
back to
where
they
belong????
Please help !!
Thank you !
Eileen
