Thread: Windows Mail keeps trying to create a "Recovered Messages" folder

Windows Mail is working OK but every time I open the program, the hard drive goes into a flurry of activity and a new folder carrying the time and date, is created in the "Recovered Messages" section.
The disk activity continues at a high level throughout my Mail session, and is getting to be something of a nuisance. No data is ever recovered (none needs to be) and the new folder is always empty no matter how long I allow the disk thrashing to continue.

How can I switch off this entirely unnecessary activity by Windows Mail, to recover messages that do not need recovering?

One option is to try the Back up and Reset Windows Mail. My best suggestion however, would be to upgrade to Windows Live Mail

I was getting this damn message every time I used hotmail, thankfully not often. I did as simrick says and went to live mail, problem solved.

Glad to hear your problem is resolved!
