Live Mail 2012 Screwed Up After v2004 Update

Bingo! Worked for me as well. Thanks!

Thanks a million!
Your resolution worked perfectly for me.
Moreover: I found your info rather easy and I’m afraid I hadn’t found the German info that simple…
Greetings from the Netherlands!

Simple fix, Worked for me! WLM gets corrupted during the update.
Regedit:
In the registry under

Computer \ HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows Live Mail

Create these 3 DWORD entries (were not available for me) or change to 1 if they exist

RecreateFolderIndex = 1
RecreateStreamIndex = 1
RecreateUIDLIndex = 1

Restart Windows Live Mail. Then the message display goes back to normal for me and the 3 values ​​in the registry are reset to 0. Can be left as it is.

My Livemail will not send or receive after update 2 days ago also.
For someone clueless, how does one go about this? I can open Regedit, I found a bunch of folders (or are they called values or something else?) I don't have the destination in my system and once there wouldn't know what to do. Help please. I have the WIN10 email running now and it's driving me crazy.

I have Windows Live and Windows Mail as in the pics below.

For some strange reason the icon returned. Just returned.

First Post. Hopefully the Forum can help.

Recently loaded v2004 of Windows 10. All of my WLM messages received after 8/26 show this message:

"Windows Live Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again."

I tried to roll back but WLM is still showing this issue.

I have alot of online and offline folders with WLM and know that I will have to move eventually. What do you recommend as the new solution and can it convert the online folders (Gmail) and offline folders automatically.

Looked at the Regedit solution but don't understand how to enter the 3 DWORD entries.

Would someone mind showing the "after" changes to the WLM entry so I can replicate.

Thank you

Regedit is very simple. First check if the DWORDs don't exist in the right pane. If they don't, select in the menu, "Create DWORD". Type or paste the name of the DWORD in the newly created entry. Then right-click and select "set or change value". Enter "1". There is "Hex" and "Decimal" options. Let the "Hex" option selected. Repeat with the two other entries. Close regedit.

You may also want to clean you e-mails, create more but smaller folders, delete what you can.

I backed out the latest release of Windows 10 so I am currently on 1903. I updated the RedEdit entries and the screen looks like below. Do I need to "upgrade to 2004"?

In terms of my terminology on offline folders, they are folders stored within WLM but not active on my GMAIL server.
