Windows Live mail Inbox

Just today my Windows Live Mail is eating my e-mail. I am running Windows
Vista with Live Mail. I have had my wife's and my e-mails accounts setup so
our messages went into our own inbox folders. Today I click to get my mail
and I can't find it. I went into tools, messages rules and it still has both
of use setup on separate accounts. Message rules say to have my e-mail go
into a specific folder. The where to line has my email address and the
specific folder is in red. I click on it and try to specify my inbox it will
not highlight the OK button. What did I screw-up? Thanks

Re: Windows Live mail Inbox

Why are you using message rules? Windows Live Mail doesn't need any
message rules to keep emails from different accounts separated.

Re: Windows Live mail Inbox

Messages go into their respective Inbox folder without any rules.

Re: Windows Live mail Inbox

Does your email account use a different password that your wife's password?
