Sent Items Folder For Multiple Accounts In Windows Mail
Aug 12, 2009
Okay, here it goes. I first started using Windows Mail when I bought a new computer with Windows Vista back in January '09. I have four email accounts which I transferred over from an Outlook Express backup that I did before getting rid of my old computer. Windows Mail automatically set up a set of folders (Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Drafts and Junk E-mail) for each account, each with a different color scheme, similar to Windows Live Mail. My hard drive crashed in June and I'm just now setting things up again with the new hard drive installed. I tried restoring my email accounts from a backup I had but now Windows Mail won't automatically create folders for each account. Instead, I had to set up separate Inbox folders with message rules for each account. However, all the accounts are still sharing the Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Drafts and Junk E-mail folders. Is there a way to set up a set of these folders for each account using message rules? And also, why did Windows Mail do that automatically for me the first time using it - could it be that the information came from an Outlook Express backup originally?

I have created 4 email accounts and emails from all accounts are being deposited into the same inbox. Outlook express allowed me to manage these through identities so that each email account had it's own inbox, drafts, sent, etc. Is this possible with Windows Mail?

How can I set up two accounts on Windows Mail from the same server but different email addresses. I did this on Outlook using separate identities and would switch between the two, but Windows Mail does not do it this way.

For some strange reason it seems Vista (Business) mail is emptying my Deleted Items folder after a day. I can't see where this setting might be... not in Options that I can find. Any idea how to stop the unwanted emptying of my Deleted Items folder?

I'm trying to set up my Windows Mail for multiple email accounts, but it's combining all the messages together. All the messages from all the accounts are going into one main local Inbox in Windows Mail. I want to keep the messages and individual folders for each email account separate. How do I do that?

I am trying to set up signatures for 5 accounts. I have followed the instruction given by Microsoft, but either I get the default signature on all 5 accounts, or no signature on any account and no option to even insert the signature manually. Anyone had this issue and found a solution?

I am setting up a Vista Home Premium laptop for a friend. I created a standard user account for him, but I am using the administrator account myself while installing software and configuring everything. I disabled User Account Control for the admin account, because I was overwhelmed by warnings and prompts when doing all the installs and configs.
When logged in as administrator, I installed various apps including Start menu shortcuts and Quick Launch icons. However, when the standard user logs in, he doesn't see any of those shortcuts. Likewise, I want to place some folders on the desktop that will give him tips on how to use his new laptop and shortcuts to maintenance tasks. But, when I place them on "my" desktop, they are not available to him when he logs in as his standard user.
Is there some method that administrators use when setting up a new Vista system, so they can place Start menu shortcuts, Quick Launch icons, documents on desktop, etc. that will then be available in all user accounts (or even in specified user accounts)? Is there some way to do what I want, or am I asking the wrong questions?

I set up my Windows Mail to receive email from multiple accounts. I know, and in fact, I like that all email goes into one inbox. That suits me just fine. It works perfectly for me. I have a column set up so that I know which email account the email came from. However, now that I've added Kaspersky Internet Security to my computer, the emails come in properly but the "account" column empties itself of the information and Windows Mail no longer recognizes where the email came from.
For example, if I replied to an email received in one of my Yahoo accounts, the reply would come from the proper yahoo account. What happens now is that no matter which email account received the email, replies will always generate from the default account unless I manually change it.

I just wondered if creating multiple user accounts on Windows Vista Home Premium could affect the performance? ie. slow it down? At the moment i only have one user account, but was going to create another.

In Outlook Express, I was able to have different inboxes under different folders for multiple email accounts. For example, I want my yahoo.com emails and sbcglobal.net emails placed into different inboxes. I can't find any options under Tools/Accounts to specify this, and when I create a new folder, my only choice of where to place the new folder is under Local Folder.

how to set up the folder options to display the number of subfolders or items when its selected. It used to display in the bottom of the folder window but got disabled. Any folder clicked on would display in a small footer the number of items stored in in and size.

I have a issue to delete my mail in the delete folder. I clicked on Edit then on 'delete items...' But nothing happens. It is one heck of a task to delete one by one Need to delete all at once.

I am thinking yes with todays technology and older email clients doing this, but, when I set up one e-mail, mail comes in to a "Local Folders" "Inbox", so I wonder how I will separate my various accounts. Can I set up each to download into their own set of e-mail account folders rather than everything going to "Local Folders" "Inbox"? If I can set up more than one account, will Windows Mail automatically log into and download all of the email accounts when I open Windows Mail? This is quite difficult to set up when Windows Vista doesn't include help files. Even after I downloaded them, the help files for Windows Mail won't open.

How do you create an account with your windows mail? I'm not talking about hotmail or anything like that, I'm talking about the program that comes with your computer, and registering your hotmail account onto that program. I got as far as entering your 'incoming mail server type' and 'outgoing mail server type.

There are some strange missing items in the windows mail version I got with my PC. Where do I look to find out what my version is? And where if possible can I get it updated? Microsoft is incessantly updating my PC but never seems to query my version of windows mail although it is obviously flawed.

I've been using Windows Mail for 18 months without any significant problems.
Now, when I delete an email from my "Inbox," it does NOT appear in my "Deleted Items" folder. It just seems to disappear. I did read many of the earlier posts and have tried the suggestions. I've gone to Tools>Options>Advanced>Maintenance - the "Empty messages from the Deleted Items folder on exit" is NOT checked. I've also gone to Current View "Show all messages" - that's identified/checked. Is there something else that I can do? I'd appreciate any suggestions. This is the first time I've used
the Discussion Group, so I hope that I'm doing this correctly.

I have tried unsuccessfully to set up different signatures for the five email addresses I use. These addresses are used for five different interests. However I try I still get the signature for the default address whenever I click "Create Mail." The default email address is shown,with the default signature. When I change the outgoing email address in the address bar the signature shown is still the same. So I tried to use the Insert feature by unticking "always use signature etc" and clicking "insert" on the toolbar of the message. However the option to add signature is always greyed out.

I just got a Vista Premium computer, 64 bit with an AMD Phenom 9100 processor. I'm still not familiar with many of the basic functions in Vista, but I'm pretty good at figuring things out. However, I just installed 2 of my old hard drives from my old computer (which lost its motherboard), and so now I have 3 hard drives. When I was looking at my files in one of the old hard drives, let's call it J:, I found that items had been moved around. They were in a specific order and now things have been moved since opening the HD with Vista. I already tried dragging and dropping the items to put them back in order. Only 1/4 of them are out of order, but when I try to drag and drop, it appears I can drag, but not drop. The file does not move to the new place where I drop it in the same folder. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Does Vista not allow the flexibility of moving contents inside a folder? I really need these items to be put in the correct order. They are not in alphabetical. How do I do this very simple fuction? I will probably have figured it out by the time someone answers this, but then again I haven't yet, so I'm hoping for someone who can tell me how to do this very easy thing.
