Earlier today I received an email and I read it, but later Live Mail couldn't display the email anymore. I get this error message:

Message cannot be found The contents of this message cannot be found.

I have it setup so that my emails stay on my email server for 7 days before Live mail deletes them. So I did go to my email server and found the email there. I tried to find a way to get Live Mail to retrieve that email again. I tried marking it as unread, then marked it as flagged - neither of these worked.

So how can I get Live mail to download that email again? I was able to forward it to another of my email addresses and I have it, but now it's listed as an email from me, instead of an email from my client. So in the future I won't be able to find that email if I sort my old emails by the client's name.

I know if I delete that email account it will then download all the emails on my server, but that sure is a time consuming way to do this. I wouldn't mind if I could trick it into downloading all the emails on my email server. What other solutions are there?
