Lost all my emails from inbox!

I just set up Windows Mail and all of my emails from my school account have been transfered to Windows Mail and deleted from my school account. Does anyone know how I can transfer those emails back? I really need them on my school account.

Windows Mail Plugin not working ( blocked by Vista's DEP)

dolly — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 01:21:13 GMT

Hello Friends,

I am using Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and I am builing an c++ ATL DLL in Visual C++ 6.0, which is an addin DLL for Windows Mail.

When I run my Windows Mail, Vista's DEP (Data Execution Prevention) feature blocks it, and prompts that it blocked for security purpose as some other program tried to use windows mail data.

But I have to hook into Windows Mail as have to put an addin to customize its GUI.

I tried to turn DEP off for Windows Mail, but it didnt allow me (even in Full Admin Account).
Also I turned DEP off for my exe (which loads my addin DLL, which further hooks into Windows Mail), but despite that Windows Mail is blocked.

Also, when I build the project in Visual Studio 2005, it runs very well. (And I have not made any change in the project settings or code)

It seems, VC 6 uses older compilers and VS 2005 uses latest ones so are compatible with Vista!

But I have to use VC 6 only as it's my project's requirement!

Please Help!

Thanks a lot !!

Cannot send mail - no error message

Beaner — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 10:02:20 GMT

I've had no problems with Windows mail until recently. When I choose send and receive it proceeds to receive mail but does not attempt to send. There is no error message that appears - it simply skips the step. I've checked my account settings and everything seems to be fine. It's been a few days of replying to emails before I realized nothing had actually been sent and is still sitting in my outbox.

how to Restore windows Mail from hardrive clone backup.

jjackson — Sat, 17 May 2008 04:31:24 GMT

Hi every one,

I recently got a bad virus and had to back up my entire C Drive to a removable drive.
I then reset my vista laptop to factory settings. The virus made it so that I couldn't actually use windows so I did all that by hitting f8 during boot up and it gave me the option of backing every thing up.

Can any one please tell me what I have to copy and where from my back up drive to my new fresh intall of vista to get my windows mail back to what it was before the wipe?

I would love rules, folders, mails, every thing back to how it was. is that posible??

would love any help posible
Cheers every one.

J

sorry for the spelling.

Error message from within Windows Mail

volkerd — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:14:53 GMT

When I start Windows Mail, the program checks the pop3 server without problems and downloads whatever mail I have to the inbox. When I push the send/receive button once Windows Mail is running, I get a "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please review the list of errors below for more details" message. But there are no details in the box, it's empty.... ?

edit:

Strange, when I go into "Tools > Send and Receive" and hit either "Send all" or "Receive all", no problems. When I hit "Send and Receive all" problem occurs again... WTF?...:(

All files lost. Mail seems to have rebooted itself

All email files are gone. Windows Mail seems to have been deleted or something and now wants to start over.

Are there hidden and saved files somewhere. I don't mind restarting but can I get my inbox, sent folder files back, plus the contacts?

thanks in advance for anyone that can help
