Thank you!... You explored OE & realised that you never needed to purchase a
"Junk Mail Filter" coz all you had to do was set half a dozen rules... It was
SO simple!...
I so totally agree with almost every comment you make, OE RULE''s...err
RULE!!!... Yeah!... WLM rules are not brill...
Help me out here, see if you experiance the same problem as I'm getting...
I have my POP folders on the left, I'd like my "Storage Folders" at the top,
so I moved that up to the top. (but on each restart of WLM it ended up back
at the bottom!)...
Also, If you RULE sort your emails into different folders, (do you have
child folders within them by chance?)... if so, does it auto expand to show
them every time you open WLM?...
Finally, "Storage Folders", remember how OE used to kinda hide all the POP
accounts & just follow the rules to sort them, so you didn't see all the
individual accounts like you do now. Have you found a way of removing their
visibility without actually deleting the account?...
All I want to see is :-
Storage folders (at the top) with just the folders I want to see that I RULE
sort my mail into, no other child folders auto expanded.
My Hotmail account after it.
Thats it... Oh, & if I do find a decent email program I will let you know,
but I'm staying away from something incrediable!...
Thanks for reading!...
