For that you need to turn off email scanning,if any antivirus program is installed on your system. You need to also exclude EML files from the scan. Because, it provides no protection on your ssytem. Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and you need to uninstall Outlook Express from your system.

In order to resolve the above issue, you need to open up the Inbox folder, then try to look near by the upper right corner. Did it says "Hide Read Messages " or "Show All Messages"? Then try to change that settings and make it to the 'Current View'. Then you can try out for each folder, in order to saves its current view setting, you need to check out that setting in each and every folder.

For that you need to just follow the below steps mention.

1. First of all try to close your Windows Mail.
