Windows Mail

[RiverJordan]

Hi,

I am using Windows Mail 6.0.6000.16386 (Vista), which seems to have an overactive spam filter (?) which deletes emails before I can open them and then there is no way to find them. So here's how the scenario unfolds. I open my laptop and click on send and receive. Perhaps 20 new emails appear in my inbox, and, before my very eyes, Windows Mail will delete sometimes 25% of them (e.g. 5), in a matter of seconds, before I can even discern what I have lost. They do not show up in the Deleted Items category. They are simply spirited away forever. I even tried logging on directly to my Cpanel email server, but those emails are gone forever. Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

Previously I used Mozilla Thunderbird which worked great for me and am now thinking of switching back.

thank you,

On the Tools menu, click "Junk Email Options"

Uncheck the "Permanently delete" option at the bottom

Now all suspected junk will go into your "Junk E-mail" folder instead of being deleted

Thank you...not sure how I missed that, but will give it a try. That seems the likely solution to me too.

If you intend to stick with the microsoft email route i reccomend you update to windows live mail
