Hello JohnW thanks for your reply. Its not in compact view, my email set up is fine. She has totoally lost her inbox, sent, and Subfolders. Drafts is still there and a couple of others. Is there something that can restore it back?? its a bit confusing. Thanks, Gep

"Its not in compact view" Don't think it has anything to do with Compact View, resize just the same as you would in Office, word or just about any program.

Perfect SS gep. My head was thinking that L/H column was hidden, but it is not. Got to have a big rethink about this, might take a while.

Windows Live Mail was discontinued by Microsoft in 2012. In Windows 10, the replacement is simply called "Mail". I presume you're using Live Mail to access 3rd party email such as AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc? Did you try the web-based versions of your email program to make sure there are no problems? "Microsoft announced that Outlook.com was discontinuing support for Windows Live Mail during 2016 by dropping support for the DeltaSync protocol. Microsoft has positioned the Mail app (bundled with Windows 10, available in Windows Store) as a replacement for it. Although DeltaSync has been discontinued as of 30 June 2016, Microsoft's Windows Live Mail 2011 and 2012 continue to work with Hotmail e-mail accounts by using IMAP (or, less effectively, POP) in place of DeltaSync. Gmail and other service providers still support DeltaSync, so users can still use Windows Live Mail with non-Microsoft email accounts." "Windows Essentials 2012, including Windows Live Mail 2012, reached end of support on 10 January 2017, and is no longer available for download from Microsoft." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windo...

Hello JohnW, thanks for your reply, not sure im clever enough will have to get someone more techie than me to have a go if that is the way to go, a bit hesitant in uninstalling. Hello Riider, thanks for the information, Gep
