Hi all
Just setting up windows live mail with my new isp having recently changed and I'm having a problem setting up message rules.
I have setup 3 mailboxes for the email for my new isp and have added them to windows live mail, which seems to work fine however each of them downloads all of the mail for all of the mailboxes which is ofcourse not what I want.
When I used to use outlook express I had the same problem with my old isp and was able to solve it very simply by setting up a message rule for each of the accounts so they wouldn't download messages for the other account.
Wehen I moved to windows live mail, as the message rules applied to all pop3 accounts I set up message rules which moved emails to the correct inbox and made sure the messages were deleted from the server once downloaded to prevent duplicates appearing in inboxes.
However when I tried to do this today I have got to the point of selecting the folder I want the emails to go to and for some reason it won't let me select anything named 'Inbox'!!!
Annoyingly I have renamed my old accounts and hence broken the old message rules so I can't check exactly how they were setup but I'm sure they just pointed to the correct inboxes but trying to set it that way now again won't work (if I select an 'Inbox' the apply button is no longer selectable)
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
