Solved Windows Live Mail - Group Incoming Mail

[estochin]

I have 12 e-mail accounts - 6 at the office and 6 at home. Is there a way to have all the incoming office e-mail go to one folder (Global) and have all the home e-mail go to another folder. Right now I have to click on each account to read the incoming mail, then click the next account.

Any help would be appreciated

open a gmail account and forward the mails, and try using the labels function. https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=118708

If your 12 accounts are set up as POP3 ("leave on server" checked so you can view them from both computers) you should be able to use Message Rules to sort them in to two storage folders.

Open WLM > under Quick Views, there is the " Unread emails " section. When you have mails coming in, they show up there in terms of numbers.... i.e. (3) = 3 e-mails > click that Unread e-mails and you'll see all the incoming mails.

Message rules could be very messy with 6 office accounts and 6 home accounts. Be very careful how you set them up.

I like that idea but I don't show Unread Mail in my Quick View... Where would it be if it's not there?

Check that - I found it and it was just what I was looking for!

t-4-2 One quick question.

Now that I've found it... Of all the options in Quick View, I prefer to use All Inbox.
I'd like to NOT use Unread e-mail but it's grayed out. is there a way to uncheck it?

Thanks

But do you see the top of the list - the grayed out Unread e-mail... I'd like to uncheck that and only use "All E-mail" listed lower on the list. I have a feeling since it's greyed out I can't uncheck it?

Oh, that's what you mean.

Yes it is grayed out and I don't know why. Maybe it is so by default.

When emails come in, the numbers will show up in both Unread Emails and All Inbox.
Just use All Inbox and ignore the Unread.
You read one, you read same in the other folder. So, just pretend Unread Emails is not there.

12 message rules, each saying "when the message is from the specified account..." will do what was asked originally...to group them into 2 separate folders.
