single inbox like OE

is there way to have a single Inbox for multiple POP3
accts like OE did? I would like one that I could apply my
rules to, as I already had existing rules that moved msgs.
into various folders. Now I have an empy Inbox under
'Storage Folders' with my sub-folders under it and email
goes into each account's Inbox.

I'm afraid not. Each account is shown separately in WLM

WLMail already has individual Inbox folders for each account.
Are you wanting to manually apply rules?

If you used the WLMail Inbox folders, quick views would show all Inbox
emails.

Hi, Anon.

My rules are working on my 3 POP3 accounts - although 99% of my mail comes
to one of them.

I'm not sure what the "secret" is, but in my Select Quick Views, the only
box I have checked is the top one: "Unread e-mail - Shows all unread
messages in all your e-mail accounts." This works very much like a "single
Inbox for multiple POP3 accts like OE did", as you said. In my Mail Rules,
I have NOT checked the box for the condition "Where the message is from the
specified account", so it apparently applies to mail from all accounts.

In Storage Folders, I do have separate Inboxes for each account and I can
force a scan of existing messages in each one; this comes in handy when I
create a new rule and need to apply it to messages already in an Inbox.

So long as they are still Unread, all incoming messages (the ones that don't
get trapped by the Junk filter) stay in the Unread e-mail in Quick views,
along with the count of unread messages. When I read them, they stay there
until I leave Quick views - to visit newsgroups, for example. When I come
back to Quick views, the Read messages are gone, having been moved to the
Storage Folders, either to the folders specified in my rules, or into the
Inboxes for the individual accounts.

WLM/View/Layout/Folder Pane/Show Quick Views/Apply/OK
Right click Quick Views/Select Quick Views/Click on All Inbox or All Unread Mail

Additionally if you wish to move all new messages for an account(s), a rule(s) can be created for all messages received regardless
of account.
e.g.
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the To line contains 'youraddress@xxxxxx'
Move it to the Pop3account folder
and Stop processing more rules

You can do that with message rules. I do.

By default all messages rules apply to all POP3 mail as it downloads.
All your existing message rules should work as before.

And for a final message rule add

For all messages
Move it to the Inbox folder

The confusing thing about reading the text of the message rules is that
you can have multiple folders with the same name (e.g. multiple Inbox
folders) and its not obvious which one it means. But if you click on
the folder name, you get the folder tree. My final rule is moving to
the Inbox under Storage Folders.

So with that final rule, anything that doesn't get moved to another
folder ends up in the Storage Folder Inbox. Nothing ends up in the
Inboxes under my individual accounts.

thanks. I didn't think so. I really don't like the way they did it with
WLM.
I ended up switching to a different mail client, sticking with this only for
newsgroups.

to provide an optional OE-like folder arrangement, but it was not to be. :-(
I've grown somewhat accustomed to reading all mail in the top-most
Quick view folders, and ignoring the 10 account folders. Still, it is a pain
to have to go through the individual Deleted Items folders periodically,
since there is no aggregate Quick view for that.

delete glyph on Junk QuickView and the AWOL Deleted QuickView
