Separate Sent folders in Windows Mail

Hi,

I just bought I new computer so I'm forced to use Vista and windows mail
instead of XP and Outlook Express.

Primarily out of a laptop computer, I run three businesses and have two
identities for fun so I really miss Outlook Express.

To try to simulate identities, I did message rules to put the emails into
separate folders. But all my sent emails are in one huge folder and I send
150+ a day. Does anyone know how I can have a "Sent" folder in each of these
subfolders? The "From" line seems to be from other people to you, not from
one of your emails addresses to someone else.

I also have an issue with signatures but I'll try that in another message as
I don't want to overload this one. Vista seems very good at overloading. At
the moment, it is reminding me of Millennium, which I considered a virus.
Bring back XP!

Someone told me that you can buy fake identities in the aftermarket for
$15.00 but someone else told me that he tried that and it didn’t work.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Re: Separate Sent folders in Windows Mail

Try the newer Windows Live Mail. This is the heir apparent to WM.
It has separate Inbox/Draft/Sent/Junk email/Deleted items folders for each
account.

Re: Separate Sent folders in Windows Mail

Hi,

Thanks for trying. It did solve my previous problem for no Sent subfolders.
But, unfortunately, I traded a problem for a disaster. When I "upgraded" to
Windows Live Mail, I lost all of my previously read emails, many of which
were not answered and needed to be. With new emails, they all seem to go
into Quck Views unread e-mail folder. If you read them there, they just then
just disappear. So, without a "To" column (or at least I haven't figured out
to get a "To" column to appear yet), you have to figure out which inbox the
email should go into and then move it so that if you read it, it won't
disappear. Not exactly an ideal situation.

Interestingly, there seems to be no junk e-mail filter like there seemed to
be in Windows Mail, but when you try to delete the junk mail, instead of it
disappearing, you get two of them. Unreal.

Maybe Mr. Gates will get this right (or bring back Outlook Express) or maybe
if it is supposed to be right now, I will figure out how to deal with it.

At the moment, thank God for webmail or I would really be in trouble.

Thanks for trying through.

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Something does not sound right. Take a look at this link about Windows Live Mail Beta to see about all the features. Perhaps this will help you get what you want.

Windows Live Mail

Re: Separate Sent folders in Windows Mail

For some people, the Quick Views in WLM are a little buggy in the
current build. If that problem affects you (as it does me), read and
delete mail in the account folders rather than the Quick View folders.
Also, if you decide that WLM is not for you, merely uninstall, and
WM is back.
