Go to View, Layout, make sure "Folder List" is checked.
Do you see any "Local Folders" near the upper left? You may have to
click that little triangle to expand the folder view.

I have lost all of my mail that I had under my "My Personal Computer" folder.
If it was deleted, how can I get it back? Thank You.

Windows Mail does not have a "My Personal Computer" folder, so I don't
know where you are seeing that.

If mail is deleted from folders in Windows Mail, it goes into the "Deleted Items"
folder. If anything is deleted from that "Deleted Items" folder, it is pretty much
gone for good.
