Sry to bother - have searched for this answer but found nothing specific recently that answers everything.

I just did the automatic update for Windows Live and lost all but one of my accounts, all emails between 2012 and today, all storage folders. I can't find the directory my emails are in, despite checking these forums. I did find out to sign in to Windows Live Mail - which got me my most recent emails and one account.

I'd very much like to find emails and folders - lots of important stuff. And to save myself adding back the accounts again.

Any help very welcome. Won't be around again till later to respond to answers but very much appreciate any in the meantime.

Thanks!

Muriel

I download the update; it goes through the process of installing until it gets to the "Live Mail" component and then is comes up with an error message  #0X80040701 and says it can't install mail because I have A NEWER VERSION ALREADY INSTALLED???? What is that all about??
