Switch to BT Mail has deleted all my sub-folders

I have just moved from BT Yahoo to BT Mail, following the instructions BT provided. On my PC I use Windows Live Mail. Previously, all my (thousands of) emails were organised into numerous sub-folders dropping down from the Inbox tab, so I knew where everything was. These have all been deleted so all my emails are now in one big mass in the Inbox. Also, I don't have any emails received prior to 2010, and I'm sure there were some there before. Can anyone help?

If it was a POP3 account, which I suspect it was because most folk set up Windows Live Mail as a POP3 account, you will have lost all your sub folders when you deleted it.  Luckily you still had the emails on the server which enabled them to be downloaded when you re-made the account. It would however not remake the folder structure as this was on your PC within the email account that you deleted.
You could try searching for the emails by going to Start > Search > type .eml into the search box. This should find all the Windows Live Mail emails on your computer.
If it was an IMAP account, this would have replicated the folder structure that was set up on the email sever unlike a POP account folders which are on your PC. When you deleted and re-made the account this would have set up the folder structure as it was previously because it replicates the folders on the email server. Because it has not done this is another reason why I suspect your deleted account was a POP3 account. If it was IMAP you would have the folders that you had previously.
It may be that if it was an IMAP account that you had, the folders could still set up although I have my doubts. You could try a computer restart to see if it sets them up.
As regards the pre 2010 emails, they may have been deleted from the server by you at some point so they would not now be there to be downloaded.

    Hi Hemendra,
    Thanks for your reply. Actually i am trying to do two things here. First i am creating sub-folders using following code. And then trying to assign individual group permission on these sub-folders using following Powershell script. Now problem is when i am
    creating sub-folders, its also inheriting all the parent permission. Lets say i have customer folder name "Pepsi" and it has 4 sub-folders (like Account Management, Legal Drafts, Executed.. etc) . Now i want to assign individual group permission to each Sub-folder
    but root folder (Pepsi) should remain all the parent permissions. i did try to remove the permission first and then assigned permission to sub-folders. i was able to assign individual group permission to sub-folders but problem is, its also assigning Limited
    Access to the root folder. so basically i cannot see the folder as the root folder has limited access. Please let me know how can achieve that.

  • My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?

    My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?

    WINDOWS?
    Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
    In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
    In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
    Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
    Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
    Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
    And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
    might be out of date worth a try

  • Even via time machine the new osx lion has deleted all my latest files in iPhoto and will only revert back to an old 2009 backup?

    even via time machine the new osx lion has deleted all my latest files in iPhoto and will only revert back to an old 2009 backup?... Help?!

    Have you verified that the original files are missing from the Originals/Masters folder?  There are time when the library might appear empty due to a damaged database file but still has the files.  If you can open the library package via the Finder to see if the files are really missing or just can't be seen by iPhoto there are fixes you can try.
    If the files are there make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I updated to Mountain Lion and Mail has lost all my RSS feeds. Where are they?

    I updated to Mountain Lion and now Mail has lost all my RSS feeds. What happened and where are they?

    -------- "Your RSS data is not lost. You can find it in ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS folder."
    it's just as good as lost, if there is no way to load the info in that folder into a new reader.
    i followed that path, ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS, and I have almost 40 rss feeds. that means
    there are nearly 40 folders that I would have to go into, one by one, and extract the pertinent
    information, and import, one by one, into a new reader.
    this is a problem that Apple created. I would have never used the mail.app as a reader
    if I knew Apple was going to do this to us. And it makes you wonder what else Apple is
    going to do to screw us loyal customers over. (why would they discontinue a feature, knowing
    that it would mean lost data and a headache to their customers?)
    does anyone have an automated solution to importing these files into a new reader?

  • Can I find out, with user has deleted all cost estimates with CKR1?

    Hi Community,
    ich have a major problem: all our standard material don't have a cost estimate any more, because a unknown user has deleted all current cost estimates. Can I find out, with user has used the CKR1 transaction? And much more importend: how can I solve the problem? Do I need to re-calculate all the material?
    Thanks for any idea and help
    PoD

    Hi,
    you have to make the costing run, marking, releasing again but thats not the whole work.
    If there are PP-orders that have been created based on the old/deleted plan cost estimates, the variance calculation will not work as the plan cost estimate is missing (even if the new one is released in the same period).
    Thus variance calculation is not possible for those orders... You have to settle the whole balance to receiver object by removing the variance key in PP-order. Try first for one particualr order to see if there are some other problems that need to be solved during month-end-closing.
    How to find out who has executed CKR1 (SAPCKR1): Check authorizations for (hopefully) a small number of user who are allowed to use CKR1.
    Use T-Code ST03N, in the left upper window double-click "total" (maybe click a day if you can imagine which (possible) date it was). In lower left section open "user and settlement statistics" and then click "user profile". Now go to each possible user and look for T-Code CKR1.
    This can be time-consuming but its worth a try...
    For the future: restrict CKR1 to a very small number of user (and they should be well trained...). I once had a company (with poor authorization concept) but CKR1 was blocked in SM01 and a ZCKR1 was created and in this Z-transaction USER-name was checked (if SY-USNAM...) so only the use names named in this Z-program were allowed to use ZCKR1. Not the best way but sufficient for them...
    Good luck, Christian

    You can continue to use them as Apple ID's, change the rescue address (as you know)
    You can use your iCloud address, but it won't be an alias, it's a full email address.

  • Dreamweaver has deleted all my sites in the 'manage site' box! any reason why?

    Strangely enough, dreamweavers 'manage site' box has deleted all my sites - both local and server info totally wiped out. I have to reinstall my sites and their following details for the sites to be reconnected again! I never seem to have this problem with fixed software, just wondering as its on cloud whether there is any outside influence

    Cloud software is exactly the same as perpetual licensed software.  The only difference is how you pay for it.  When your site definition settings go haywire, it's often caused by a corrupted cache or personal configuration folder.

  • My iPod has deleted all its music (not synced to itunes)

    Hi,
    I just updated to the new iTunes and my iPod has deleted all its content.
    My iPod is not synced to my itunes or laptop, so I just manually put it on.
    Has my music been lost? If so, can I get it back? Anyone know how it deleted by itself!? I was uploading music, ejected the device and when I went to play music there was nothing on it.
    Thanks

    An iPod has a hard drive inside. Like a hard drive in a computer, it can have data corruption that cause files to be lost. It is really not wise to keep music and other media on the iPod without it being backed up on the computer. You can easily break or lose your iPod, or the iPod could have data issues like the one your experienced.
    The cause may be a hardware problem. It can also be data only, which means using Restore on your iPod may make it work properly again. The only way to know is to use iTunes to Restore the iPod, which will erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software.
    Going forward, you should store your media on your computer and sync it to the iPod. Additionally, you should back up the valuable data (and not just iTunes data) on your computer.
