I followed the instructions given to AnitaWolfe and was able to recover a previous version of my deleted folders. However, when I copied them into Windows Live Mail and clicked on them, I got the message "There is no item in this view".

I had restored them to my Desktop before I copied them in WLM and when I click on the folders on the Desktop, the messages are there but show in codes until I actually click on each individual message. Is there something that can be done to bring the messages in WLM and see the messages as they should appear.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
