| multiple Inboxes I have 3 email accounts - in OE there was only one Inbox/sent folder/outbox covering all accounts - now I have to check through 3 of each to find emails - is there a way to amalgamate the inboxes and other folders into one as in OE Ian M Reed |

| Re: multiple Inboxes That wish has been expressed here many times (myself included). Unfortunately, WLM's design team chose not to accommodate that option. About the best you can do is set up a custom folder under Storage folders, then use a message rule to direct all incoming mail to that folder. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "Ian M Reed" <ianmreed@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7M-dncm0suXlH_TanZ2dnUVZ8uudnZ2d@xxxxxx

| Re: multiple Inboxes Quick views is intended to give you this functionality. View > Layout > Folder pane > Show Quick views. Then right-click on Quick views and Select Quick views. All inbox will show you the contents of all three of your inboxes - and the rest you can probably work out for yourself. When in the All inbox Quick view, you will be able to click on a column header in the Message list and select Columns. If you make sure that Account is one of them, you'll be able to see at a glance which account which message belongs to. -- Noel "Ian M Reed" <ianmreed@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7M-dncm0suXlH_TanZ2dnUVZ8uudnZ2d@xxxxxx

Thanks for that info. Helped me, too. I noticed that in customizing the toolbar (because I wanted to get rid of the Blogs button because I don't bother with them) that I can add the following buttons: Inbox Outbox There is only one Outbox so it is self-evident to where I get focused when clicking on that button. I'm not sure to which folder I get focused when clicking on the Inbox toolbar button. When I click the Inbox button, there is no highlighting or marker displayed to indicate which folder has focus. | ||||||||||||

Inbox can also be added to the newsgroup toolbar. -- Ronald Sommer | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 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) -- ...winston ms-mvp windows live mail "Gary VanderMolen" <gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ezCNUEoQIHA.2000@xxxxxx

| Re: multiple Inboxes Ron, Though that button(Inbox on Newsgroup Toolbar) may not go to the default email account Inbox in the same fashion as the Inbox button on the Mail Toolbar). Haven't investigated too deeply beyond changing default email accounts(4 are available all tried), closing WLM, opening WLM, switching to and retesting in WLM News. -- ...winston ms-mvp windows live mail "Ron Sommer" <rsommer@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OhNGLJsQIHA.5264@xxxxxx

| Re: multiple Inboxes It's been established that Quick views is fragile. When it breaks, the message count doesn't work and it will only show (mail) messages received after the accident. The treatment has been posted many times: delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\SearchFolderVersion, and the prophylactic: don't delete any folder under Storage folders. -- Noel "...winston" <winstonmvp@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uLE0TVsQIHA.5976@xxxxxx

Yet the latter is what Ron Sommer seems to be suggesting as the first step in removing unwanted messages from the ("Quick View" of) All News <eg> news:%23xW9xtpLIHA.3940@xxxxxx Subject: Re: Unwanted newsgroup postings Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2007 07:10:49 -0600 BTW I would have sworn that I had posted that news link correctly yesterday but somehow in Sent Items I found the %23 converted back to a # (which won't work if you try to use it from the IE Address bar.) In any case I am sending it today with %23. If it changes again there is a bug somewhere. --- | ||||||||||||

an empty Recovered items folder showing under Storage folders in the Folder pane - i.e. using the UI. Ron very bravely used Explorer to delete the newsgroup folder found in the Store folder, but found that a subsequent compaction - reindexing of the MessageStore - brought everything into line again. If this had caused a(nother) malfunction in Quick views, I think he'd have said so.
post, yours (which has a #) doesn't work, but mine (with neither # nor %23) does. What's your explanation for that? I hope you noticed my post yesterday claiming that news: links invoke the default news server, not the one currently active. Whilst we're at it, why does your post have no Content-Type or charset header when mine do? -- Noel | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
