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

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

Messages go into their respective Inbox folder without any rules.

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