windows mail all messed up
I have been battleing a problem with windows mail that wont allow me to delete mail.
I found a thread on microsofts site and tried to follow the instructions, but im just to new to know what im doing. as a result, i now have all the folders messed up in windows mail, and i cant delete them. or rather, i can delete them, only they keep comming back again.
I want to start all over like it was when windows mail was installed. how do i do that?
please dont assume i know how to do anything, i need simple instructions to follow.

ok well that might have worked, only I dont have any Mc Afee TO uncheck.I am using PC Cillin from trend micro not mcaffee.i have windows vista. this is a new E1705 Laptop.also I tried to download the linked util, but the zip is empty.that could be due to interfierence from the security software. it tells me i dont have administrator bla bla blawhich is totaly wrong. i am the only user, and i am the administrator.i click alow, and it seams to proceed with the download.(i think)it did put A zip file in the directory %user profile%/downloads/wmutil/i created the wmutil directory prior to downloading and used it as the target for the download.i tried to extract the zip file, and vista sais that it is empty.Pit Player

I don't think there is an easy way to. At least that i have found. (not packaged with windose anyway)I had to restore from a prior saved restore point. (this will wipe out any installed software you have installed since the saved point) however data folders will be left intact.since my computer is a new machine, I didn't have anything much to loose yet.before you do that though, i Highly recommend that you EXPORT all your mail and contacts to a new folder on your hard drive. You will be able to rescue them later if need be. That's what I did.warning:be careful on this site, as i think there might be some unscrupulous characters that would love to tell you to disable your computers security software and then click a link that will download God only knows what onto your system.and as far as downloads go... there are some utils available that claim to fix this. I would not trust any links posted in these forums, do an internet search yourself to find a utility program that you think you can trust. (don't click zee links!)
