| | Help - Basic rules of using WLM I have created some sub-folders under 'Storage Folders' group, and created Message Rules, so that as the message arrive, they automatically move on to their selected folders. Here is my problem - I cannot select all of these folders at the same time to make the messages 'read'. Why did WLM forgot to make this 'select all' feature? Am I missing something? Further, under 'Quick views', all of the newly arrived mails do show-up as un-read, provided they were at each accounts individual 'Input' file. But if they were moved by a message rule, WLM ignores those messages as newly arrived message. Is there anyway I can make those messages as newly arrived message? Appreciate all the help and comments. |

| | Re: Help - Basic rules of using WLM Afaik, select all folders is not an option in WLM. I use Outlook 03/07 for a few other email account and that option(select all an mark read) is not present. Its been quite some time since I used Outlook Express for email, was that 'feature' present in OE ? I am not sure what is meant by an 'Input' file. Do you mean Inbox ? If I add a rule to move messages from one account's Inbox(upon delivery) to a subfolder in the storage folder my Quick Views(Unread Mail, and All Inbox) shows the correct count. In this specific case 6 messages were delievered to 3 accounts. One account was set to move messages to a storage folder subfolder(it received 2 of the 6 messages). Quick Views showed 6 'Unread e-mail' and 4 'All Inbox', I.e. the correct count of all the the correct inbox count. -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "User66" <user66@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:07E34F46-E987-48D9-8D40-9EFDE321F418@xxxxxx Quote: > I have created some sub-folders under 'Storage Folders' group, and created Message Rules, so that as the message arrive, they > automatically move on to their selected folders. > Here is my problem - I cannot select all of these folders at the same time to make the messages 'read'.

| | Re: Help - Basic rules of using WLM I don't understand why you need to select all of the folders. If you are not going to read the messages going to a folder, then add Mark as read to the move rule. -- Ronald Sommer "User66" <user66@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:07E34F46-E987-48D9-8D40-9EFDE321F418@xxxxxx Quote: > I have created some sub-folders under 'Storage Folders' group, and created > Message Rules, so that as the message arrive, they automatically move on > to their selected folders. > Here is my problem - I cannot select all of these folders at the same time > to make the messages 'read'.

( I cannot set any 'message rule' to automatically move messages for the hotmail accounts). Since my POP3 account has mail 'message rules' to move messages to sub folders, the 'All inbox' does not always count or show all of the mail arrived in the POP3 account.

I need a way to select all of the folders to mark then 'read' as I did in OE. In the 'Quick views', neither 'Unread e-mail' nor 'All inbox' do show all of the newly arrived messages for all 4 of my accounts.

I don't see how this addresses Ron's point (unless you are now vaguely implying that changing your rules might be a lot of work.) Quote: > I need a way to select all of the folders to mark then 'read' as I did in OE. Are these folders in an identifiable hierarchy? In particular is that identification available to you in a Find window (Ctrl-Shift-F)? Quote: > In the 'Quick views', neither 'Unread e-mail' nor 'All inbox' > do show all of the newly arrived messages for all 4 of my accounts. Of course not--you move them to a different, unmonitored location. What happens if before you do a receive you have a Find window open which is set to view all unread messages in the top node of the different location? Then you would be able to press Ctrl-a, Ctrl-q and mark them all "Read". HTH Robert Aldwinckle --- |
