More e-mail angst.
Unfortunately I haven't yet got around to using the advice I was given recently to back-up e-mails to an external storage device - The Road To Hell etc.
Sadly, the reason I needed it was because of what has just happened.
Windows Live Mail - I have created some folders down the left hand side of the display, and move e-mails that I want to keep into folders that have some relevance to the contents that I transfer, i.e. I have one named Aero Club, another with my wife's name, one to Keep etc. etc.
Yesterday, of the 6 folders that I created 3 were missing, gone, nowhere to be found, these happened to be the last 3 at the bottom of the list I had created.
My I.T. man suggested that they would be in "Storage Folders", a totally different set of folders that came across from my old computer, on the new one I started a new inbox/sent/drafts/deleted/junk etc.set of folders, and within the new Inbox option created the 6 new ones.
They aren't, but I eventually located them in the Recycle Bin !! So I elected to "Restore" them and they left the Recycle Bin - but didn't re-appear from whence they came.
So ........ where T.F. are they ?
Grrrrrr ! again.

The "remove from bin" bit of the restore worked, the "put them back where they were" bit didn't.
I repeat the advice: get out of that package asap or sooner!
Thunderbird "just works".

When in Linux mode ! I have used this program to access my BT E Mails.
NB for us,the lowest form human of life - BT never did support the I-MAP set up, edit: for their "Home" users (although exhibited on Pube Tube) - miserable experience,on my old kit.
