What do you mean the emails that you saved? Were you using the default email application? Have you checked the browser version? Just trying to get some information so I can try and help, haha.

You probably want to go in to email > sync settings and change it to download all mail...

I had the same thing. Emails in my Saved folder were not there immediately after upgrading to Windows 10 but they reappeared within a day or so.

Hi You need go to the live mail folder location and do a restore to previous version or you can install shadowexplorer and export all email and then you can option you live email and import all your messages or you can also get professional help from 25dolarsupport.com

I thought so too, but they are NOT lost. Just go to the windows button lower left. When the tiles appear on the right, scroll down and find OUTLOOK. All the emails are there. The windows 10 email is NOT Outlook. It's just a very scaled back version, like the old Outlook Express. You don't have to use it. Just open your Outlook tile, or whatever email you were using before, and keep using that!

By default, Outlook stores the mail message in .pst file. Search your whole hard drive for pst file and you might be luck!

What type of email do you have POP3 or IMAP? If you have IMAP the emails are on the mail server and you need a client or browser to view them. If you have POP3 then the emails are downloaded to your email client. I never lost my emails when upgrading but i was using the same client.

Hi there paul hogan1,

I purchased SysTools Outlook Recovery today and it is now installed on my Desktop (Windows 7), but not at all sure what I am doing wrong to not yet have been able to recover my deleted messages in Hotmail (now Outlook). I found everything going back to 2006 in the Deleted folder only a few days previously, but last night when I scrolled back in that folder, it only went back to June 2016. I really need some of those emails, any and all help greatly appreciated!
