"From:" Dropdown menu

I have five accounts (all POP3) set up, but only one account shows up at the
"From" dropdown menu at a time.

Is there a setting I have to change to fix this?

Thanks

Re: "From:" Dropdown menu

Are you saying that it won't let you switch to another account for
sending?

When you start a new mail message or reply, the From box should show one
account, the one that WLM is going to use for sending. If you click the
down arrow at the end of the box, it should show all your mail accounts
with original one highlighted. Click on another to use that one.

Re: "From:" Dropdown menu


When I write a new mail message, the From box shows one account, and when I
click the down arrow on the dropdown menu, there isn't anything else. Only
one account is shown on the list.

Re: "From:" Dropdown menu

Sounds like something is broken, but I'm not sure what.

If you click on Tools, Accounts, Mail do all the mail accounts show up?

If in the folder pane, you click on a mail account, then start a new
mail, does that account show in the From box?

Yes, but ONLY that particular account nothing else.

Please don't tell me that I have to re-install...

Re: "From:" Dropdown menu

I'm not going to tell you to reinstall, because I'm not sure that would
help.

Look in Help, About Microsoft Windows Live Mail. Does it say build
12.0.1606?

When you click on the down arrow (V) at the end of the From field, does
it become highlighted?
