Windows7 Update erases all email in storage folders

IMPORTANT - Even MORE than where are the past messages (although I would
like to know), I want to know how to store email -outside- WLM in the
future
and still be able to read it.,

WLM Button > Export email > Email messages
- export to a blank folder (required)

or

Drag messages to a user created folder (e.g. create a folder on your
desktop, documents or elsewhere on your drive, thumb drive, external drive
etc).

I was picturing one or more unspecified folders being viewed in
Windows Explorer, but you're right, it's hard to see how it could be
more vague.


At this point, any approach requires way too many assumptions. We
weren't given enough information to know in which direction lies the
first step.*

Forget your teacher - you impressed me!

I did post some error messages from the Computer Management Event
Viewer, but now I've lost them all.


These used to be called "directories" and now they appear on the LHS
of the Windows Explorer screen, they're colored yellow and they look
like little hang files. These folders can be part of a set and/or
can have sets of their own. One is reminded of:

“Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite ‘em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on,
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.”

or even........

Big bugs have little bugs,
Upon their bums to bite 'em.
And little bugs have lesser bugs,
And so on ad infinitum

Like Char Jackson, I know what folders, AKA directories, are. Like Char
Jackson, I couldn't figure out what you meant by the way you expressed
things :-(

Thank you, sir!

That is truly nasty behaviour. Micro$oft has got no business deleting things
just because 'they are no longer supported'.

Create suitable named folders on a separate partition, and use Save As
on the e-mails to save them there. If you don't have a separate
partition, create one. Here's a tool for that:

There are others. Search on "partition tools utilities for windows 7".

You coudl aslo look fro 3rd parety e-mail programs. Most are better than
Outlook Express.

There is no real evidence that that is what has happened. The original
poster cited an inaccurate and confusing description of his problem and
has not bothered to clarify. I don't believe Microsoft has deleted
anything in this case.
