My Windows Mail started to delete Local Folder Inbox messages. I don´t now
how to stop that process? Sent Items are OK. All Inbox contents are stored
in computer and I found these. But how to migrate these e-mail messages back
from Windows Mail to Windows Mail? When i going to the File menu, select
Import and then click on Messages ... and do all process like migrating
Outlook Express to Windows Mail...it shows : No items match your search ! ?

Thanks

First make sure you have the inbox set to View | Current View | Show all
messages. If that doesn't help then:

With File | Import try choosing Windows Mail 7 format instead of OE format.
If that won't work, create a new folder in WinMail and then open that folder
to show the empty message list. Then select all the eml files in the inbox
folder (make sure they are exclusively eml files) and drag them overtop the
message list and drop them and they will become incorporated into the
folder.

You might also want to check point 3 here (www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 )
for the possible cause of the issue and use my Windows Mail utility to
compact and repair the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/)
