I'm running Windows Mail on Vista Ultimate SP2 and have no explanation for
Windows Mail's behaviour:
- I have three email addresses, all at the same provider.
- I had in my Windows Mail (not Live Mail) installed two rules for incoming
mails, where the first one deletes mails directly on the server for a list
of twelve sender names, and the second one moves mails from a specified
sender into a specified folder.
- I noticed that a client's mail to one of my addresses didn't receive me.
Then he sent a mail to each of my three addresses, and only two received me.
- When I send mail for myself to the missing mail address all was ok and the
mail arrived.
- And now the surprise: When I canceled the rules my client's mails arrived
for all three addresses.
Of course, I thought the one rule killing incoming mails on the provider's
server might exclude mails from y client - but why could then arrive mails
from my own account to this address?
Furthermore, the client's sender address, a simply
<firstname>.<lastname>@<provider> didn't match with one of the specified
addresses on the kill list, and even <firstname> oder <lastname> does match
neither with one complete entry nor with part of an entry.
The only thing I found was that my kill list used 'apostrophs' for the first
entry and "quotation marks" for the others, here the beginning of the list:
'StayFriends'
"EMFIUS"
"sango"
"viagra"
"Share Point"
....
But this doesn't explain why mails from my client are killed for one of my
three addresses and mails from my owb account are not.
