Folder could not be displayed - Windows Mail could not open this f

I just transfer my files from my old XP computer to a new desktop with
Windows Vista.
When I check Windows Mail I see all my folders with several unread messages
but I can open it.

The Windows message is completed with " Possible causes are: Low disk space.
- Low memory ".

At the moment of this message my new desktop was having 94GB disk space and
1.3 GB memory free.

Try repairing the database:


Run the cmd prompt as Admin and copy and then in there

esentutl /p "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
Mail\windowsmail.msmessagestore"

Fill in the %USERPROFILE% to match your profile (e.g. c:\users\nrc)

Then reopen WinMail and see if that fixes it.

I have the same problem (all folders cannot be displayed because of memory
problems) and I tried the www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/ tool and I tried the cmd
line esentutl command but in both cases I have the problem that the
windowsmail.msmessagestore file is locked. Windows mail is not active but
still I cannot run the WMutil tool and the esentutl command. Any ideas on
what program might lock the windowsmail.msmessagestore file? Any ideas on how
to unlock the file?

Do a CTRL-SHIFT-ESC and end task any running instance of WinMail.exe. Also
disable any antispam and antivirus software set to scan email.

I tried the recommended utility esentutl immediately after rebooting and
turning off virus checker, but it did not repair the mail database. Is there
another approach? I see the folders but only the "low disk/ low memory"
message with each folder. Is there a way to reset / reinitialize the mail
database and start over?

I have the same problem and tried your fix, but it has not worked. Can
somebody pls help? Could not get my Windows Mail to work since I bought the
new notebook PC with Vista more than 1 month ago.

But I have to use my PC on the road with a slow connection lots of times.
So Windows Live Mail is not a solution.

I don't understand. Why do you consider WLM a poorer
solution for travel use than WM?
Sounds like you have some sort of misconception.

When you travel overseas, you do not always get high speed lines. So WLM is
not a good alternative. Right now I need to solve the Window Mail problem
before I can even get to use my new computer!!
