Hi Archi

Im getting this error when i try to open Argosoft mail. (if i click continue, it does open)

I can see it says im missing system.xml.xlm (what should that look like a where...)

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Well found the solution..

the user.config was gone empty..

copied the user.config from previus version (at appdata ect...)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <userSettings>
        <MailServerUi.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="WindowSize" serializeAs="String">
                <value>911, 595</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="NoRunReminder" serializeAs="String">
                <value>True</value>
            </setting>
        </MailServerUi.Properties.Settings>
    </userSettings>
</configuration> 

now no errors…

(cant mark this as complete)

Just had this happen to me after the server rebooted. File corrupted.

I have a suggestion: rather than give the "Root element is missing" error. Why not give that but add a little extra information. Such as giving a link to the FAQ page.

Or asking the user if they would like to attempt to use the backup file.
