Wl Mail 2012

Hi Folks,
I seem to have stopped getting the notifier pop-up when junk mail arrives. I don't think I stopped this myself, can it be reinstated ?
Doing a repair install did not help.

As far as I know WLM doesn't have pop-up alerts.
It does have sound alerts and the Tray icon changes when new mail arrives.
Messenger has pop-up alerts for email, so you could check in there.
I can't check there as I've been removing Messenger from my systems because it is being discontinued soon and replaced with Skype.

Hi David, I forgot about Messenger when I posted, I'm talking about WL Mail.

Hi George,

I understand you're asking about Windows Live Mail (WLM).
I have WLM 2012 and I don't remember ever getting any pop-up notifications for new mail.
I do get pop-ups for Outlook and Thunderbird when new mail arrives.
If you get pop-ups for new mail with WLM 2012, yours works differently than mine!

Here is the WLM options I see, and I only see an option for a sound alert.
WLM is NOT my default mail program - I'm not sure if that makes a difference.



I remember getting pop-ups for new mail if I was also logged into Messenger when new mail arrived.
I don't have Messenger anymore, so I can't look at those settings...

Hi David,
it's the junk mail pop-up I used to get.

 

[DavidE]

I never got a pop-up for Junk mail (or any mail) with WLM.
Who is your email provider(s) - Gmail, Hotmail, etc.?

Here is an article I found asking about this and it says WLM does not have pop-ups unless Messenger is running:
Pop up notifications for new mails for Live Mail when Messenger is not running - Windows Live Taskforce

I use WLM 2012 but Messenger is not installed. The only thing I get is the Icon on Taskbar will change to show new mail.

Hi David,
I sign-in using my Hotmail account, add my Gmail account then delete the Hotmail account. I used to get a pop-up when junk mail was received but now it just goes straight to the Junk Mail folder.

 

[DavidE]

What i found is WLM opens to the folder I was looking at when I last exited WLM.
If I was in the Inbox folder when I exited, WLM re-opens to the Inbox folder.
If I was in the Junk folder when I exited, WLM re-opens to the Junk folder.

I don't understand how you ever got a pop-up for new email with WLM.
I don't, Phone Man doesn't, and that article I posted seems to imply others don't...


I don't re-boot often, I use Sleep (and hibernate)...

Hi Roderunner,

Yes there is a junk mail popup in Windows Live Mail and to get it back:

Go to Regedit and navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\mail

Then in the right panel find

Don't Show Junk Dialog

Change the value to 0 if you want the junk mail popup to show.

In your case it is set to 1.

I'm still on WLM 2009 and it also has the pop-up dialog and registry settings. Perhaps the confusion is that most people would call it a "dialog" rather than a "pop-up" since most dialogs do popup on the screen in order to be seen. What I wish I could find is a way to set the Junk mail filter to also "mark as read" as you can do with Inbox mail filtering rules that auto-delete stuff.

Hi Ron,

Do you get pop-ups for junk mail in WLM 2009?
I have WLM 2012 and I don't remember ever seeing a pop-up for Junk mail (or any mail).

I checked, and my registry setting is 0 for Don't Show Junk Dialog
So, I should get a pop-up when I get Junk mail (I think)

Maybe the registry setting is a leftover from WLM 2009 that doesn't work with WLM 2012?

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to send myself Junk mail to see how this works

 

[DavidE]

OK, i figured out how to send myself Junk mail, and I can get this message with WLM 2012.


Is this the pop-up you are wanting?
If so, my guess is you clicked the "Please do not show me this dialog again" checkbox.
That would probably change the Registry setting...

I was thinking "Pop-Up" meant the way Outlook displays a pop-up above the Tray Icons when new mail arrives.

Hi pbcopter,

Their is no 'Don't Show Junk Dialog' in Regedit.

That's what I mean exactly.

I'm not sure what version of WLM you have but here is my registry

What are the other Windows Live entries above in your registry?

...Do you get pop-ups for junk mail in WLM 2009?...

Yes, that's what I said, with the caveat that it should be called something else, like "dialog box".

...Their is no 'Don't Show Junk Dialog' in Regedit...

Perhaps you can get it back by adding it.
