Account not visible in the

Hi
If i select the fast view (not sure about the translation as i am not
using an English version of WLM) under the unread email tab i get a
list of all the new received messages.
I have several email accounts.
When i received messages of multiple accounts only of the messages
from a few accounts the account name is given in the overview (Account
column).
The same is true for the other tabs (like all inbox, all concepts).
Has anybody an idea why some accounts names are displayed and some are
blank (the message from, to subject etc are displayed ok)?

Re: Account not visible in the

Are all of those messages that you've received in WLM?

If you imported the messages from another mail program, or from EML
files, that account information may not be available.

If you deleted and added back an account, that can also cause the
account information to get lost.

Hi
I have a couple non-Hotmail accounts and for these accounts the
account names show up.
Strange enough the hotmail accounts do not show the account
information.
BTW. In the panel on the left (with an overview of all the accounts)
all account names are displayed correct.
Any more suggestions.

Re: Account not visible in the

This may explain why...
If viewing messages within a Live ID inbox(hotmail/msn.live.com accounts setup as an Http account), the Account field is not an
available column to add to the center view pane. It is available for pop3 accounts.

The 'Account' field(the receiving account, not sending) while available as an available column when viewing via 'Quick Views'
(I.e. global to all accounts) does not display the recipient account for messages received in a Live ID http account. It does
display pop3 acccounts.

I.e. There's appears to be a linkage to the column's availability based on the individual Live ID account(e.g. inbox etc) option.
Additionally the account name in the Folder pane(left pane), while the account field uses that field for pop3 accounts is not
inherent to the 'account column(s)' ability to display the account for http accounts.

Re: Account not visible in the

My Quick view folder ("Unread e-mail") does identify the account for emails downloaded by my HTTP MSN.com account (which is also my Live ID sign-in).

I get in the center view pane (list of for instance the unread
messages) a mix of messages from the different accounts. As it looks
now i only get the account names of the non-hotmail accounts.
BTW I use the WLM as stand alone (not through an Internet Explorer
with an active/logged-in connection.)
Yhis might than be the reason.
Is it logic? I do not see the logic?

Why?
What is the logic?
It should not be so hard to figure out the account for the received or
sent messages (the email adress is shown.
