Renaming storage folders in Windows Live Mail can be a bit tricky, but I'll guide you through some possible solutions:

Method 1: Using the Folder Options

1. Open Windows Live Mail.
2. Click on the "File" menu and select "Folder Options" (or press Ctrl + Shift + F).
3. In the Folder Options window, click on the "View" tab.
4. Under "Advanced settings," uncheck the box next to "Use one folder for all accounts."
5. Click "OK" to save the changes.
6. Now, you should be able to rename the storage folders by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "Rename."

Method 2: Using the Windows Explorer

1. Open Windows Explorer (File Explorer in Windows 10).
2. Navigate to the location where your Windows Live Mail storage folders are stored (usually C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Email).
3. Right-click on the folder you want to rename and select "Rename."
4. Type in the new name and press Enter.

Method 3: Using the Registry Editor (Advanced)

1. Open the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Email
3. Find the subkey that corresponds to the folder you want to rename (e.g., Inbox, Sent Items, etc.).
4. Right-click on the subkey and select "Rename."
5. Type in the new name and press Enter.

Additional Tips:

• Make sure you have administrative privileges to rename the folders.
• If you're using Windows Live Mail 2012 or earlier, you might need to use the "Folder Options" method.
• If you're still having trouble, try restarting Windows Live Mail or even restarting your computer.

I hope one of these methods helps you rename your storage folders in Windows Live Mail!
