Receive only new messages in new account creation...

[Elias]

Hello

I am a first time Windows Mail user.

I have 2 gmail accounts which I want to use through Windows Mail. I have set
up the first successfully and it received all mail from my inbox on the gmail
server and that was fine. After setting up the second account (also gmail), I
do not wish to receive all mail in that inbox, only new messages. How do I do
this?? There are a lot of messages in there and I do not want to receive them
all, only messages coming in from this date forward.

The other question I have is how do I set it up also so that each account
has it's seperate section for receiving and sending mail. I can set up new
folders under the Local Folders area as sub-categories but it is not
practical. I would like all the folders for the second account that the first
has (i.e. inbox, sent items, deleted items, outbox... etc) and then to
receive mail to the appropriate Inbox as well as given the option to select
which account to send the email from when clicking on create mail...

thank you in advance

Elias

Gmail has an option to download only new mails when you set up
the POP option on their site:

"Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on."

Windows Mail does not have identities like Outlook Express did.
By default, all email from all accounts goes into the same Inbox.
There are four different ways of fixing that:

1. Use separate Windows user logins. That gives total privacy.

2. Use message rules to filter incoming messages into
separate folders.

3. Upgrade to Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each
account, no rules needed: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

4. Purchase an add-on called WMIDs:
