Mail Rules - Fowarded messages don't show originating senders addr

Hello All,

I have set up a message rule in WLM so that emails will be automatically
forwarded to a hotmail account. When any forwarded mails are opened in
hotmail the 'From' address is my WLM account and the original sender's
address (the address of the person who sent the email to my WLM account) does
not appear anywhere... not even in the message body as you would normally
expect with forwarded mail. Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?

I would really appreciate some help and advice.

Many thanks,
Rich

That is the nature of forwarding, and normal for any email client. What you
would need is a, "Redirect" option, which, AFAIK, is not available in
WLMail. The next best thing is "Forward as attachment", if the rules allow
it. This creates a new email, and includes the forwarded email as an
attachment. This will preserve the headers of the original email.

Hi Norman. Thank you very much for the info. Unfortunately no option for
forwarding as an attachment :-(

Cheers,
Rich

Why not just do it in Hotmail?

If this is a POP3 account, I believe free Hotmail accounts can now pull
email in from other POP3 servers.

Re: Mail Rules - Fowarded messages don't show originating senders

Yes, It's called Pop3 Aggregation.
Up to 3 accounts can be popped(pulled into Hotmail)

Along with this ability, one other feature was disabled. In the past, one had a Pop button on the Hotmail web UI tool bar....that
button was removed.. Pop3 happens automatically on a pre-determined interval(logging on to the account will force it).

Forwarding Hotmail Inbox messages outbound is a different feature...for free accounts one can forward mail to one other e-mail
address that ends in hotmail.com, msn.com, live.com, or is part of Windows Live Custom Domains. Hotmail Plus and MSN Premium
accounts can forward to any one account(e.g. username@xxxxxx )
