I thought the 'recovered folders' feature was just a peculiarity of WLM ver 14!
I just delete them every now and again when I feel like it.

I still using WLM 2009 build 14 on Windows 7. I don't know about Windows 8
or 8.1.

The way I prevent "recovered folders" from being generated is to change from
"working online" to "working offline" before I exit WLM. I've been doing
this for a couple of years and have never had "recovered folders" generated
since I started.

Of course, doing the above, also impacts IE. I don't use other browsers, but
I would assume it would also impact them. Therefore, after exiting WLM,
while "working offline", I open IE to get back online for other purposes.

This may sound like a convoluted "workaround", but it just takes a couple of
seconds. You've spent more time reading this than it takes to actually do
it.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Richard. I'll do as you suggested and hope it'll work for me too.

Recovered folders in WLM is an indication of the following occurring.
- being closed or aborted during an indexing process
- closed during a send/receive
- closed during an automatic polling (occurs about every 71 minutes
regardless of the protocol used for email accounts (POP3, IMAP, HTTP)
- loss of internet connection
- closed during a move or copy process when indexing and message store
database (default and backup) are being updated
- going offline during a send/receive, auto-poll, indexing
- index (message store and database) corruption

The purpose of Recovered is to alert the user and attempt to save any
data (external to the WLM database on the user's hard drive) not
properly indexed allowing review and in some case recovery.

The 'Recovered' subfolders in Storage Folders are usually labelled with
dates and information on the original or intended location. The
subfolders under 'Storage Folders/Recovered Folders' with recovered
items can be deleted. Those items are not included in a WLM compact
process (default is every 100 openings).
