Maybe you don't need rules... I do.
I just can't find anywhere to set them up.
Every version of WLMail is different and it's starting to really get my goat.
I used to filter incoming mail into folders on my old machine, based on
subject, or where they were coming from. (i.e. Ebay / Amazon / Family /
Newsletters etc) Then my old PC crashed and I reinstalled with a new version
of Windows Live Mail.
Could I find where to set up rules?
Nope.
Not a sausage. Nada.
It was there in a previous version, but it seems to have vanished.
It used to be you could right click a mail message and set up a rule based
on that message -- not anymore.
Where are they hiding them these days?
And frankly... I'm seriously considering ditching the darn thing for now.
There has to be some mail client out there that doesn't mess me around as
much as this one does, a client where the basic functionality doesn't change
every time you update.
(And no one suggest Thunderbird. I'm sick of being told it's so great,
because it's... not.)
I liked the first version of Windows Live Mail, I wish I still had the copy
of that one. I'd never upgrade it.
The one thing WLM has going for it is that at least the default option is to
leave mail on server.
