Last night my email was working fine. Then as I shut down I noticed Windows was doing it's update thing.

Today I try to use Windows Mail. Initially it said it was already running (it wasn't visible on screen), so it said try again or restart the computer. A restart later and I'm seeing nothing.

Now I'm actually running Windows 7 with Windows Mail lifted via a hack or two from Vista. I hated Windows Live Mail in the way it tried to sort my many email accounts into separate folder groups per account whereas I like to see all the accounts presenting the email as a single folder. Oh and it also proved a major pain to attempt to migrate to any other email client as Windows Mail didn't want to export into any meaning ful file format that anything else could interpret.

Anyway, before I really get annoyed and inevitably break my computer by trying to roll it back, does anyone have suggestions for what might have been broek and how to get Windows Mail working again.
