    Using Rules iin Windows Mail, (IMAP)

    Has anyone found a fix to make rules work in windows mail? I used to have
    all these helpful rules that would sort my e-mail, but in windows mail, I
    have switched to IMAP and now the rules don't work at all.

    Secondly, if no one knows how to work around this, does anyone know a good
    e-mail program that would connect to gmail, hotmail, and yahoo mail, and
    allow me to filter?

    Thanks in advance!!

    Message Rules are only applied to incoming POP3 mail.
