Default Vista Mail-Recovered Messages

I'm using Vista 32 bit Home Premium. I was unable to delete messages in my delete folder and used your fix of Tools/Options/Advanced/Maintance/Store Folder etc. Now I have a folder for Recovered Messages that posts the date and a 6 figure # following the date every time I go to my mail. Example 04-24-200700 12-51-17. Now I can't delete the Recovered Messages folder and when I click on the the folder it shows "there are no items to view". The folder get bigger and bigger with sub folders. I am able to delete the sub folders and the daily entrys, but not the Recovered Messages folder.

Just ran into this same issue. The WMUtil was worthless. This is why I never stopped backing up all my email files that were important to me with AOL mail. Its all on there site and all I had to do was to upgrade to windows live mail {witch sucks} and transfer the AOL mail folders back to windows live.
AOL service was terrible but the AOL mail has kept right on truckin. I have mail in it from 1999 that was never lost once. I have been through 4 computers. I cant believe windows mail didnt allow us to have complete control over all the folders.
