If there's no check mark in the box before Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing, click on this box and then Apply. Click on OK Click on the other account with incoming mail problems, and do the same for it. Click on Close. |

| | Re: Multiple Accounts I have a different problem using Windows Live Mail. I would prefer all my emails fro all my 8 accounts going one Inbox. But they are not. What can I do about it to have , more or less, familiar and similar look as Outlook Express had or at least Windows mail? And how can I get rid of the text besides the icons on the Tool Bar ?

| | Re: Multiple Accounts You have hit upon what I like least about WLM, the clutter of many account folders when one has many email accounts. The short answer is that you can use a message rule to redirect all incoming mail to a custom folder. That custom folder can either be under Storage folders, or you can set up a dummy account and use it as your master inbox. The former suffers from having to scroll way down to even see it, while the latter is a bit more complex to set up. If you need more detailed instructions for either setup, let me know. I don't think there is a way to hide the text labels for the toolbar icons. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "Jdr" <jdr@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:721BD195-A7F0-4566-BB76-F3CDFA04FC45@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a different problem using Windows Live Mail. > I would prefer all my emails fro all my 8 accounts > going one Inbox.

| | Re: Multiple Accounts > fell on deaf ears. :-( Well, I know that many people who have changed WLM back to its previous version . Some of them even went back to Win XP leaving Vista completely. That may give some hint to the Redmond Team. I use to believe that consumer / user was always right. That doesn't work with MS Redmond well...- .Jdr "Gary VanderMolen" <gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:eeHkhtiKIHA.4712@xxxxxx Quote: > > The WLM team was besieged many times to develop an > optional common inbox arrangement (like OE), but that request > fell on deaf ears. :-( > -- > Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] > > > "Jdr" <jdr@xxxxxx> wrote in message Quote: Quote: > > Thank you Gary, thanks for a hint on redirecting incoming > > e-mail.

| | All the incoming email goes into the same Inbox. I verified that there is a check mark in the box before Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing, for both accounts, but still all email goes to only one account. How do I have email go to correct account? How do I see other account? EggHeadCafe - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com |
