Default How do I route all my mail to windows mail box?


I have different mail carriers, But I would like for all my mail to go to my
windows mail box. I don't know how to fix this and I really don't want to
mess it up and loose all my mail,So how can I do this?
It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me in doing so and make it
alot eaiser on me when I check mail. Instead of having to login to all the
others I can go directly to windows and have all my mail there.
I think I know how to do it , but I don't want to mess it up.I know you
can help me and get it done the right way so please help!!!

Thanks, Julie

Pikeville, KY

Windows Mail allows you to set up more than one email account for
the same user and puts the incoming mail from all these accounts
into the same Inbox.

Julie,
Well you're in luck because that's how Windows Mail (WM) works. Set up each
e-mail account separately in WM and they all will end up in the same inbox
naturally. Don't worry about messing it up. If you make a mistake, just
delete the account. The trick will be for you is to get the account
information. That data comes from the mail providers help web page setup
instructions (for each account). Are the accounts from the same e-mail
provider but different names?...so much the better.

That depends somewhat on who your other mail providers are.
Some of them offer only webmail access. Windows Mail cannot
accommodate accounts that have only webmail access.
If you think you may have that situation, let us know who the
mail providers are, and we may be able to suggest workarounds.

Your message isn't very clear. If you want a separate set of Local
Folders for each account, try Windows Live Mail, which provides
this:

Four possibilities:

1. Use different Windows Users

2. Make new folders and make a message rule like this:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the message is from the mail.fjsmjs.com account
Move it to the fjsmjs folder
and Stop processing more rules

3. Use Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each account:
http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

4. Buy WMIDs http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/Default.aspx

Not with Windows Mail, but apparently with Windows Live Mail, a separate
download.
