I keep losing my windows mail mailboxes

HELP - I had trouble initially with Windows Mail deleting my inbox and outbox
files which never got solved, but at least didn't cause any more problems
until this morning when it did it again and now I've lost all my May
communications as well. Any chance of recuperating them?
I wish I could switch back to Outlook Express that I never had any problems
with. I have already eliminated Norton which someone told me caused a
conflict and have AVG which is also full of problems.
Or is it me??
Thanks for your help.

I had that problem for a while. Vista doesn't ever really lose a file,
it just misplaces it. From personal experience, changing the appearance
of Vista from optimal performance to optimal appearance typically causes
this. Don't know why though.
Back to the real question, this is how you get your messages back. Go
to the Control Panel, and under Folder Options allow yourself to see
hidden files and folders. After that, go to your primary hard drive
(typically the C drive), go to Users, select your user file, open the
shaded folder called AppData, click on the folder that says Local,
Microsoft, Windows Mail, Local Folders, and there should be all your
boxes and messages.
If you ever lose anything with Vista, go to your C drive, and use the
search bar. That was one of the good additions to Windows Vista. Aside
from that, avoid tweaking any files outside of your User file. I did
that and it's given me hell now.
