How to reinstall Windows Mail

[Guest]

I would like to copy all contacts and old mails in a "history folder" and
reinstall the programm windows mail
How do I do this ?

At the moment every time I open the programm a new folder with "recyled
mesagges" are added - presently about 50 of them
How do I get this away ?

Reinstalling WinMail won't help.Move the recoveredmessages to a normal
WinMail folder.

It sounds like at some point you deleted both copies of
WindowsMail.MSMessageStore and WinMail has not yet finished recovering the
messages that were already there. It has to read each message to find out
the subject, sender, etc. and store that information in the new copies of
WindowsMail.MSMessageStore and will continue until it has found all of them.

Sometimes the system files can cause funny problems like this but they can be
cured by checking and replacing corrupted system files. Go to this Microsoft
