Windows mail live

[andjayik]

Is there a way to have windows mail live have all 5 of my email accounts in one folder rather having them seperatly and if i get mail in each account i have to down the menu to each account and open them up? I would like to have all of them in one inbox when i get mail like outlook and windows mail?

you can do it using rules, BUT only for pop email accounts - it won't work for hotmail type accounts.

first make sure your toolbar is visible by clicking button between the paintbrush and help symbol.

tools >> message rules >> mail

in top pane, tick 'for all messages' (at bottom of list)

then in next pane, tick 'move to specified folder'

then in bottom pane, click on 'specified' to specify the folder

In Windows Live Mail, you can use Quick Views...
One of them is All Inbox, so you can see all messages in the Inbox in one place.

View - Layout - Folder Pane - [x] Show Quick Views
OK

Then in the Folder Pane, right-click on Quick views, select quick views...

How do i post a picture of my email?

use the snipping tool, save the snip, then use the attachment button, as shown below

here's a good tutorial for snipping tool, it's written for vista, but the same instructions apply for 7.

i still have 5 micro boxes on the left for email, i want one box so all 5 of my accounts go there instead of goin to each folder when i get mail?

 

[mickey megabyte]

have you tried any of the suggestions offered so far?

how did they go?

i'm sorry, i don't know what a micro box is.

do you need more help in posting screenshots?

I did that and my mail did got to one folder and after i read it i can't find them, its like they dissapeared.
