Vista - How to apply message rules ?

06-08-2009

Live mail works fine, but i cannot find how to apply "rules" to incoming
e-mail. I want some mails automatically to be posted in a specific folder,
depending on the identity of the sender. I used this rules in Mail en since
I started using Live Mail, it still uses the same rules, so works fine, but
I do not know how to create new rules in the future.
Sorry for my English, hope someone can help me out with this.

Hi, Wim.

In WLMail, click Tools. (If you don't see "Tools" it's because the WLM Team
decided to hide the Menu Bar by default. To see it momentarily, just press
<Alt>; to toggle it on, click the little icon just left of the "?" and
choose Show Menu Bar.) From the Tools menu choose Message Rules | Mail.
Take a quick look at the box showing the contents of your existing rules,
then click New to create a new rule.

Most of the steps for Rule creation are intuitive, but a couple of points
may need clarification. First, when you've specified all your criteria, be
sure to scroll down the list of Actions and click "Stop processing more
rules". This is easily overlooked and its omission often produces
unexpected results.

Second, to test your new Rule, click Apply Now. The next screen is
self-explanatory, but note that the default is to "Apply to...Storage
folders". If you have moved already-received messages to Storage folders,
this might be what you want: to move them from where you've put them to
where you want them to be. But most of the time, we want the new rule to
apply to new, unsorted messages in our Inbox - or multiple Inboxes, if we
have multiple mail accounts. So you may want to Browse to each of your
Inboxes and Apply Now to each of them. Future messages, of course, will be
sorted automatically by your new Rule.

Hi, Wim.

You're welcome, and thanks for the feedback.

Yes, pretty stupid - but not stupid of you! Many of us think that hiding
the Menu Bar by default was one of the WLM Team's dumber decisions. :>( If
they just wanted to give us one more line of on-screen real estate, why
didn't the slim down the Message Header - as many of us have been asking
them to do? (See View | Layout)

I doubt you could blame them for that. Isn't that the Vista way? <eg>

I wouldn't need the Menu bar permanently if they just gave us a Views bar. ; )

I use Tools at least 50 times as often as Views - since I programmed my
mouse button to <Ctrl>+H. ;<)

Even when there was a Views bar, years ago, the option to see only "My
threads" was never available on it. :^{

Same thing. Win7 = Vista 2. ; )

I use Actions more than Tools but Views the most.
The reason that I need the Menu bar showing is that
part of my routine for entering newsgroups involves
toggling off the Folder pane and I need to do that
with my mouse on a toolbar button. These are steps
that both OE and WinMail make unnecessary because
in them the same procedure is automatic. Then I like
to see what is happening in my Watched threads
(which are not necessarily just my Ctrl-h threads),
so that's why I need to have the View menu accessible
to my mouse.

Nor was there a convenient way to toggle threading on and off.
Only Alt-V,V,G. It only took a few months for me to retrain
myself when that gratuitous change to the UI occurred in v14.
(Alt-V,V now toggles threading and Alt-V,o is used to get
into the Views list.) Meanwhile the original UI lives on in both
OE and WinMail. This and other unnecessary incompatibilities
cause me to make annoying mental checks every time I need
to use them in WLMail but fortunately I am making fewer mistakes
as a result.

The reason that I need the Menu bar showing is that part of my routine for entering newsgroups involves toggling off the Folder pane and I need to do that with my mouse on a toolbar button. These are steps that both OE and WinMail make unnecessary because in them the same procedure is automatic. Then I like to see what is happening in my Watched threads (which are not necessarily just my Ctrl-h threads), so that's why I need to have the View menu accessible to my mouse. Quote: > Even when there was a Views bar, years ago, the option to see only "My > threads" was never available on it. :^{ Nor was there a convenient way to toggle threading on and off. Only Alt-V,V,G. It only took a few months for me to retrain myself when that gratuitous change to the UI occurred in v14. (Alt-V,V now toggles threading and Alt-V,o is used to get into the Views list.) Meanwhile the original UI lives on in both OE and WinMail. This and other unnecessary incompatibilities cause me to make annoying mental checks every time I need to use them in WLMail but fortunately I am making fewer mistakes as a result. Robert ---
