What happens if you send messages to the additional accounts?

Re: multiple email accounts

I have the same problem. What happens is that all of the e-mails show up in
one e-mail folder, all mixed together.

Re: multiple email accounts

Windows Mail puts all the incoming mail into one Inbox, unless you
have set up rules to delete it, mark it as junk mail, or move it to some
other folder.

Re: multiple email accounts

the other accounts can send email, but only the main one will receive email.
there is only one inbox and it contains only the emails addessed to the main
account.

Re: multiple email accounts

Click on Tools, then Accounts. For each mail account, click on the account,
then Properties. If there is no checkmark in the box before Include this
account when receiving mail or synchronizing, click on this box, then Apply.
Click on OK. Go on to the next mail account if there is one, or click Close
if there isn't.

Windows Mail will still use only one Inbox to hold all the incoming mail
which no rule has moved to another folder.
