Windows Mail is the Vista email program. It is not Windows Live Mail.

Is the view set to Show all messages?

And were these folders in WLM's Storage folders labeled as Imported Folders with subfolders ?

If yes........If you navigate to your WLM Message Store in Windows Explorer are those folders present
- the default location in your message store is
C:\Users\<your windows username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Storage Folders
