Vista - Message Rules

04-15-2009

I understand that rules can only be created for POP3 accounts but is this
likely to change in the near future? I would like to fiilter WLM into the
correct recipients folders. It seems very strange that I can do this if I add
a hotmail account to WLM. I can set up rules in hotmail which is a web
application ie http,but not in WLM which can also be accessed by http. Can
somebody please explain thi splease.

You said recipients. Are you trying to filter sent mail?

The Hotmail web interface are more like filters rather than rules and act on incoming mail as delivered to the Hotmail server for
that specific account. All this occurs prior to WLM syncing with that Hotmail account.

If you wish create rules in WLM for your Hotmail account, the account has to be setup using the pop3 servers(which will only
download mail from the Hotmail inbox).

Hotmail and MSN Accounts POP3/SMTP Access

Is this likely to change in the future ? If history is any indication, probably not. It's been almost 12 years with three separate
email clients(OE, Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail) that rules have only worked on Pop3 messages.

Hi Ron
What I a m trying to do is filter incoming mail into the correct senders
folder, rather than everything going into the inbox all the time. Sorry for
my English not explaining that correctly.

I believe there is a known problem with applying mail rules manually but
I thought the automatic incoming rule check worked OK.
I had hoped that anomalous behaviour would've been sorted with the
recent release but I haven't seen any announcement to that effect. BICBW
I find I have to tune the rules to get manual application to work
reliably.
