Can anyone tell me WHERE on my system are the storage folders?
I presume they are something like the old offline/local folders
But where?

Hey Shin. If you weren't a regular here I might think you're asking where is your webmail stored ?
If you're talking about Outlook Express, go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities" then use the search function to locate "Store Root".

To find YOUR message store, in WLM, click: Tools | Options | Advanced |
Maintenance | Store Folder.
The actual filename is Mail.MSMessageStore; its location varies slightly
between WinXP and Vista. Remember that WLM just synchronizes with your hotmail account so no messages are ever "lost" as they will always available at hotmail.com - hope this helps.

Thanks Derek G.
Back in Feb wasn't aware that Microsoft had ever produced another mail client other than the two Outlooks so didn't know what program he was actually referring to.
Sometimes folks are pulling their mail from a dead system where they can't run WLM in which case the "Store Root" entry is under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail" instead of Identities; for the NTUser.Dat hive file.

Ive enjoyed Windows Mail with Vista,no issues,overall easy to use and WLM is essentially the same thing but allows a bit more flexibility.

...only complaint thus far is it's poor/buggy support for reverse color-schemes. If I send out an HTML email it ends up with light text on light background and no one can read them unless the text is highlighted. (doesn't occur to most people) With Outlook Express I could edit the HTML source and correct the issue before sending and this unfortunately is not an option for WLM. I'd also like to be able to keep the related ESENT database service from flooding-out my EventViewer with countless useless messages. Anything else I'm thinking of at the moment is relatively petty...

Isnt that though inherently a problem with using html email given the issues between the different programs people use to view it and not necessarily just an issue at your end?

Actually the problem is that there are specific HTML codes in the document defining both the background and foreground colors. They should either be set to an equivalent of "automatic" (meaning O/S settings) or not defined at all. For specific text such as text where the user has chosen "red" as the text-color, that should be set for that specific text only.
Unfortunately it's not user-specific as I've gotten responses on the issue before.
