Local Folders list

[helpneed]

I have lost the "Local Folders" list on my windows mail. How do I get it back on the left side of my screen?

You have to expand the folder tree. Click on the little pyramid (arrow) that you will see near the folders that do appear,

Appreciate the advice but there is no arrow that I can see. The section of the window where the Local Folders usually appear does not exist.

View > Layout

Checkmark at Folder List?

You may need to press Alt to see this menu.

Thanks, but that did not make them reappear.

Tools>Options>General>Tick Automatically display folders>Click on Read>expand messages
OK

I followed your suggestion with no result. I then restarted the computer and still no change. Thanks anyway.

Don't know whether this applies here, but it's worth considering.

One thing that can cause this problem seems to be interference by anti-virus programs.
This is particularly so with programs that include email scanning.

This link explains why email scanning is unneeded and undesirable.

So, if your AV does email scanning it might be good to shut off that feature.

This was recommended by someone whose Windows Mail folders disappeared.

I haven't tried it.
