I use Microsoft Live Mail....

In my storage folder I had a business folder with lots of sub folders. Somehow it's gone/deleted/vanished no where to be found.

I know it's not there because my 'Message rules' can't redirect mail to those missing folders.

I've looked in C:\Users\usernamexxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail  as advised by others, but the business folder(s) aren't in the list.

So it seems they are permanently gone????? unless someone who I will be grateful to forever lets me know where there may be a trash bin I can recover them from?

many thanks
