Re: multiple Inboxes

Gary,
Using the WLM Storage folder and a rule or the Quick View/Unread
Mail(suggested
by Ildhund in this thread using the terminology Quick View\All Inbox) may or
may not always function.
And a few, previously discussed, well let's just call them idiosyncrasies
(certainly not features) remain:

1. Quick View Unread Mail doesn't always count properly(the attached pic
shows 9 unread
messages in each accounts folders where as Quick View in this case shows 5)
- The four accounts(see attached pic) are an Msn(legacy pop3 msn
account), Live(http live.com), Earthlink(pop3), Yahoo(pop3)
- the 5 Quick view messages present are Msn(2), Live(2), Elink(0),
Yahoo(1)
2. Replying to a sender may default to the sending address in the From
Field.
3. To: field(button) for adding names in any reply will use the last logged
on Live Account contacts or the default contacts if 'Stop signing in' on the
Connections tab is activated not necessarily the sending account.
4. Unread Contacts may not count properly either(all 4 recipient account's
individual contacts have the the sender as a contact)
