Windows Live Mail: emails missing after a certain date
Window Live Mail running on Windows 10 seems to have lost a lot of emails.
Specifically, most emails after 2014 have disappeared. Vanished.
Emails from 2011 to 2014 are all present and correct. But after 2014 vast swathes of email have just disappeared.
Size of stored folder is a paltry 1.5GB.
Here is what has been tried:
All View menus have been set to display all folders and all emails.
Using Control Panel > change program > I repaired Windows Live Mail and restarted but emails are still missing
Anyone know what might have caused this and is there a solution?

First of all check that EML files are stored in default storage location
C:\Users\ logon \AppData\Local\Microsoft\W
If the EML file found then try to view the content of EML in Other emails client whcih are open sourec such as Thunderbird etc.
If the emails you are looking is there in then you have to create the your windows live mail profile again.
Try this hacks, If this works for yoy then please let me know
