Windows live mail error 0X800C013E after feature 2004

I found the below and it fixed my wlm issue:

Close Windows Live Mail.

In the registry under

Computer-HKEY_CURRENT_USER-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-Live Mail

create these 3 DWORD entries (i did not have them) or change them to 1 if available

RecreateFolderIndex=1

RecreateStreamIndex=1

RecreateUIDLIndex=1

Restart Windows Live Mail. After that, the message display at me goes back to normal and the 3 values in the registry are reset to 0. Can be left like this.

For me, the account display in WLM with multiple accounts was also corrupt after the Windows Update 2004. This is also fixed.

I would recommend exporting a copy of your registry ahead of an editing, and only edit if you are comfortable doing that.

Thanks

Il faut remercie WLMUser2020 qui a propose la solution originale.

Thanks for the credits.

This Works!

Thank you very much :-D

Hi.

I had this problem 2 days ago after a weekend windows update.

Unable to send and receive emails in our live mail. iiInet  (the online iinet webmail was OK)

Anyway I did these registry changes and it seems to have corrected the incoming outgoing mail issue but it had removed all previous historical emails and also my sub inbox category set ups.

Is this normal?

Is there a way to get those settings bacK?

You may not be able to get your categories (storage folders?) back. Just recreate the categories in the places where they formerly were.

As for your lost emails, with WLM closed, using Windows Explorer you could try searching the message store folder tree looking for *.eml files that have a creation date similar to the emails that you lost. Double click on the .eml file to temporarily open WLM and if this is a lost email, then forward it to yourself and it will re-appear in your inbox. Emails which have been (accidentally) deleted from the WLM index usually stay around in the file folders until WLM needs to recover the lost space and does a final purge.

To find the WLM message store location, open WLM and navigate to FILE>OPTIONS>MAIL>ADVANCED>MAINTENANCE>STORE FOLDER>STORE LOCATION.

Once you find your message store on your hard drive using Windows Explorer, close WLM and make a temporary copy of the message store with a different name. You can now look for your lost emails in this second temporary copy of the message store and if you find them, then double click on the .eml files and that will temporarily open WLM so you can forward the file back to the INBOX of your original message store.

Your file associations under windows for .eml file extensions must indicate that Windows Live Mail is the default application to load.
