I logged into my emails today to find that all of my folders have been deleted. I have not deleted anything, only my junk which i regularly delete from. I log in to my email everyday so there is not a case of inactivity. I have some extremely important emails in those folders so I hope you can help recover them please.

Thanks

For the past 2 days, Windows Live Mail 2012 has been completely messed up.
1.  When I click on the sign in button, it brings up a window that has links to the privacy notice and terms of use, but NO LOG IN fields.
2.  I can see my inbox, but can not access my sub folders. When I click on some of the sub folders, the messages in other sub folders are displayed!
3.  Unread message counts not displaying.
4.  The small arrows to the left of the individual accounts in the left panel no longer display. Accounts that were previously open are now stuck open, and I can't open the others.

I have tried uninstalling and reninstalling, but the problem persists. Short of switching to a different email client, any suggestions? I really like Windows Live Mail. Switched to Thunderbird once, but switched back after a day because I like this so much better.

I have just separated my Outlook mail into Folders according to the email account it is associated with.  I love being able to quickly look at my mail in the account it goes with, but I DO NOT LIKE this mail not remaining in my master Inbox as it had done before I made these folders.  At times, it is easier for me to look at all my mail in one place and at other times I would prefer it be according to the account it is from. 

 

Soooooo......., my question is this.  Is there a way that my mail can remain in my Master Folder (My Inbox Folder), and still be sorted into the Folders under it (which are the various email accounts associated with it)?   I realize that this is NOT the biggest problem in the world, but to me, it is one of convenience.

 

Thank you for your time in answering my question.

I had been cleaning up emails on Outlook 2011 for Mac as I had 5 years worth stored (20K+), primarily deleting old emails and moving some to draft folders. Before I did any of this I exported my outlook files (emails, contacts, calendar) as an .olm file to an external hard drive. I do this monthly anyways so I have a past back-up also. I launched Oultook 2 days ago and all the folders were empty and my account settings disappeared. I rebuilt the identity (holding option button down while selecting the Outlook icon)  and tried a few of the backed up identities and it still came up empty everytime (no emails in any folders) and no account settings. I reinstalled MS Office and updated the software and then rebuilt the identity from an external hard drive. Still nothing. Any suggestons? Thanks


I have had my Hotmail account for 11 years but have not used it as frequently recently due to Hotmail being banned where I work. I logged into my account yesterday and found that all of my emails, folders and contacts had been deleted. I understand from the Terms that this has probably occurred due to me not accessing my account for 270 days. I did not realise that there was this condition or that it had been that long since I last logged in. Is it possible for my emails, folders and contacts to be restored ? I would really appreciate it, I feel quite upset that I have lost all of my historical emails. I have used my Hotmail account all over the world. I will ensure in the future to log into my account more frequently, now that I know that this can happen. Please help.

When logging in to Hotmail.com, I was presented with standard screen. I discovered folders were missing from my INBOX. I can search and find the Folders and read mail and I can move emails to the Folders and they are there.

 

They just do not show in the Inbox. Can someone provide advice on how to recover these Folders.

If your lost wlm 2012 folders are in the recovered items folder, how do you now move the contents or folder to the correct place ?
Hello Everyone!

I hope somebody can help me with this specific outlook behavior I've just noticed. Everytime I access my mailbox, Outlook expands all folders I have. Since I have a large tree, with lots of folders and sub-folders, this behavior is really annoying. Anyone has ever seen it and knows how to fix it?

Thanks,
Erik
Today, after a number of attempts, I am unable to send or receive hotmail emails.  The system lets me in but it takes a long time to partially upload the folders in my account.  The graphics displayed remain very basic and if I click on an email inside any of the folders, in order to read or send the email in question, nothing happens.  The only section that's working is the settings section that includes my personal details.  For some reason this is unaffected.  The rest just doesn't work. Logging out is another nightmare, very slow.  My emails are in the system but I cannot access them.  Nor can I see the contents of any of the folders except for the Inbox folder.

Please reply to the alternative email account I have of:
