Vista Tutorial - Inbox folders in WLM

Inbox folders in WLM

I am confused about the Inbox folder(s). I just migrated from Outlook
Express to WLM. At the end of the installation, it offered to transfer my
messages from OE to WLM and I confirmed. It did not finish successfully (not
sure why) so I did it again - manually - through Import/All folders.

As a result, I have
a) Inbox folder in the Storage folders.
b) Inbox folders - one in each account (I have five accounts). They have
nothing to do with a) - correct ?
c) In the quick views, I opted for "All inbox" view. Now this one is the
most confusing - what is it that I am supposed to see there ? It is NOT the
union of all Inbox folders from the accounts.

Thanks for clarifying this for me.

This shows all of the accounts Inbox email.
There is a view for a Quick view folder, Show all, Hide read, etc..
It does not show any emails from Storage folders.

Re: Inbox folders in WLM

I don't see that. My quick view folder "All inbox" currently shows only
four messages (the once that I received since I installed WLM (if I go to
View/Current view, it is set to Show all messages).

However, every one of my account Inbox folders contain dozen of old messages
(they got there when I was migrating my OE messages) plus the four new
messages that I received recently. Maybe my WLM is in some kind of
inconsistent state.

Thanks.

No, this is correct. It only shows all unread messages initially. As you
start reading them they will become unread and will continue to be displayed
in Quick View. If you were then to do a View->Refresh (F5) it would hide the
read messages and just display the unread ones again (plus retrieve any new
mails).
