get rid of Recovered messages in Vista Mail & windows live mail

can someone explain to me why there are new folders being made from time
to time under recovered messages and why I cant delete the folder from
windows mail? I right click and select delete but nothing happens...
The folders under recovered messages are all empty and it is annoying!

I would like to know more about all this since this is new (outlook
express did not have this thing)

I don't know, but you may need to check if your computer is set to
around a day and a half off the correct date and time. This sometimes
causes assorted problems.

Re: get rid of Recovered messages in Vista Mail & windows live mail

That often happens when the computer was shut down or
rebooted unexpectedly, causing the database to lose track
of messages, which then have to be re-indexed and put into
the recovered messages folder. Anything that corrupts the
database can result in 'recovered' messages.
