Windows live email

I have accidently deleted mail out of my inbox and also my deleted files is
there anyway of recovering them.

Thanks in advance

If this was a pop3 account, then no. Removal of an account in WLM deletes the account and all stored messages from one's hard
drive.

To remove an pop3 account, one has to answer yes to a prompt for deletion. WLM's prompt explaining the deletion could be improved
upon making it much clearer on the impact.
Here's what the prompt stated
<qp>
Are you sure you want to remove the <account name> account ?
If this account is set so that messages are deleted from the e-mail server as you read then in Mail, your messages will be
permanently deleted when you remove this account. To save them, move them to a storage folder before you remove this account. If
you don't see and storage folders, click the View menu, and then click Storage folders.
</qp>

If you backed up the messages prior to account removal(File/Export/Messages/..), they can be imported(File/import/Messages/..)

Also is this was a pop3 account and that account in WLM was configured to Leave Messages on the server, then check the web
interface for that account and forward or archive accordingly.


If the account in Windows Live Mail(WLM) was a Hotmail type account(Hotmail.com, Live.com, Msn.com) then your mail should still
exist on the web interface at http:/mail.live.com. Recreating the Hotmail type account in WLM will download the folders and the
messages after a next send/receive for that account.

If you mean you deleted the mail from the Hotmail web interface, then check the Deleted folder(unless the contents of that folder
are emptied, they remain on the Hotmail server for 5 days before being purged). If not in the web UI Deleted folder, they are gone.

If this was an IMAP account, your messages may also be available on your account's web server.

Fyi...this newsgroup is for Windows Live Messenger
The correct newsgroup for Windows Live Mail is

Nntp:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...e.mail.desktop
