    WLM emails going into my gmail account.


    Hi,Just recently the emails that were going into my WLM account are being redirected
    into my gmail account.
    I sent a test btinternet.com email from WLM which goes into my sent folder but not my inbox.
    Is there a way to set it up so that gmail goes to gmail account and my btinternet.com emails
    go into my WLM account.
    Thanks for any help.
    OS is Wndows 7 64bit

    Hello Tommy,

    What do you mean by "WLM account" ?
    Is this an @hotmail.com, or @outlook.com, or ISP (btinternet), or ... account?
    WLM (Windows Live Mail) is a Client (installed on PC) email program and can have many email accounts.
    Do you have multiple accounts setup in WLM?
    Every email provider I know of also has a WEB site where the user can read/send/manage email.
    Are you using WLM for some email, and WEB email for other email?
    Each email provider may offer different protocols such as IMAP, POP, MAPI and that can make a difference in what folders are used for a client program such as WLM.

    Then there's a "Windows Live account" if that's what you're talking about, and Skype can affect things from what I've read...

    Below is a screen print from WLM 2012 showing my "WLM accounts".
    I have 2 hotmail accounts here - 1 is MAPI, and 1 is POP...plus a gmail and outlook account...
    I mainly use Office Outlook for all my email, but I do use WLM on "test" systems for email that I know I don't need to keep ...

    As you said it's a "recent change", can you restore to a point before the problem started?
    Do you know what changed to start the problem - Patch Tuesday updates perhaps?

    Hi David,
    Thanks for your reply.I mean i use WLM for my isp btinternet.com address.
    Anyway i managed to fix it by going into gmail settings and account and
    and i changed btinternet.com to the gmail.com and it appears to have fixed it.
    btinternet.com emails are going into my WLM account and gmails are going into
    my gmail account,like they were before.
    I don't know what caused the change,so i ran a full scan of MBAM pro and Avast IS
    but neither reported any threats.
