    Firstly, log on to your email account from a web page (My Virgin Media?) to check your emails are still there.

    I recommend you configure your email server and PC to use an IMAP email server. That way the server will hold your email copies and local copies will be stored on your PC for the mail folders you want to synchronise. Your emails will also be synchronised across all your devices provided you use IMAP access on all devices.

    If the original account was set uo to use imap have you tried recreating the original account? That should download all your folders & messages.
    If not, have you a backup of the Windows live mail folder from here: C:\Users\yourcomputername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\ you can just delete the one currently there & paste the backup that'll give you all your accounts & emails upto the point the backup was created.
