Windows mail is not reverting back to the original "mail" file for storage
and keeps creating the same desktop temp that I keep trying to delete. This
was after the fix of changing the folder to lose the bad email then deleting
the email. Now I cannot seem to set windows mail to the original default
folder. Any suggestions?

It appears the "Mail" file is on the computer somewhere as I can find it in
search. Vista is difficult to move around so far.
 
Go to Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store Folder to find the
message store location. Then move everything under that Windows Mail
directory to another directory, so that the Windows Mail directory is
completely empty. Then restart WinMail and it will open fresh with nothing
in the database. You can then add your accounts and if they work correctly
then you can import messages from the directory to which you moved the files
back into WinMail (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm2wm).
