Any recommendations for a good mail system that includes the above features? Use message rules to filter incoming messages into separate mail folders. Alternative to Windows Mail? Reply to author.

The two major problems I am having are: 1 I have two email accounts — one personal and one for my business.
Gary VanderMolen. By default, all email from all accounts goes into the same Inbox. There are three different ways of changing that: 1. If you have set up 2 separate accounts in Windows Mail, you can toggle between those two addresses in the "From" line at the top of your outgoing message. When you click it, the drop-down menu should display the addresses of your two accounts. Just click the one you want for that message.
I know exactly what you mean when you say 'my way or the highway'. That's why I use it for my hotmail I've got to admit it is an improvement on the webmail version and not for my other emailaccounts.
Unfortunately I can't offer you any advice on either Eudora or Thunderbird - I've never worked with either of them. Only installed Thunderbird a couple of weeks ago, but didn't think it any improvement over Windows Mail and since I'm in a position I can take Windows Mail with me when I switch to Windows 7 I'll stick to that:.
Hi Sarah, You mention Incredible mail as an option but as not that up on computers not sure if the comment re spyware was good or bad. My brother is always trying to get me to use Incredible mail but resisted so far but he has just ordered a new computer with window seven so any info helpful. I still use Outlook express on XP. Very interesting article. I'd strongly advise your brother against installing it on his new computer!
Thanks Sarah, You have made my day, cannot wait to send this to my young brother. All the best, Ted. NO, Santo, there's no time, no time : I'm eager to do it now, since I probably will be able to do an inplace upgrade after all thanks to Vistalizator , but I just can't afford to work on funstuff right now.
Will let you know when I've gotten to it : Don't hold your breath for it, will take sooooome time LOL. Sarah, My brother says thanks but does not agree with Incredimail being spyware. Regards, Ted. Originally with xp, then Vista, now Windows 7. It does everything i need it to. This is a great post for information. I still have a few questions about upgrading from Vista to Windows 7.
I have an HP laptop that had Vista and came with an upgrade for Windows 7. I prefer it because it allows sub-folders in my email storage folders and Windows Live dose not. Is it the same thing, and can I get rid of one of them? Thanks for all your help. Thankfully I use Office Outlook I'm not sure I could handle the "Live" version that Microsoft put out. Hi Sarah, Thanks for the excellent information! I had a problem with Livemail also. I decided to try Win 7 as a dual - boot to try to find a successor to Outlook Express.
The biggest problem I found with Live Mail is that if I put more than 5 or 6 names in the "To" field, it told me to remove some of them.
Like Livemail it seemed to be more interested in doing multiple things I didn't need while not addressing the basic need to send a simple email. I couldn't get Thunderbird to import the addresses I'd exported from OE in either comma deliminated text format or csv format so I never gave it a chance.
Frustrated by all of this, I was about to reboot when I remembered hearing about "emulation mode". I could now use OE again. It takes a couple of extra steps you have to enter a password for the emulator and manually enter your ISP password , but it's a free download from the Microsoft website and works well. OE is the only desktop email programme I've found that will allow you to create folders containing multiple users email addresses. Outlook almost gets you there, but if you attempt to temporarily remove a name from the folder, it removes it completely from the program.
Hope this helps somebody. Umm, my first post! Great info for one as pc illiterate as me found it via gooygle. I HATE it. Given the sage advice above I'll be dumping Live Mail asap. Sarah, A very well written and informative thread. Being an Outlook and Hotmail user, I must admit that I've skipped this thread, till now, because I use neither. I will come back for the info given here.
I tried Windows Live and uninstalled it for the same reason you had given, "It is intrusive" I know you're not Win Live bashing, but only providing information. The information you have provided so far convinces me more to keep it that way. I'm still looking for and awaiting the appearance of an e-mail program that will do it all with customizable features, interoperability with all other e-mail programs as well as e-mail protocals and without the intrusion.
But, as ScottW would say, "That would be great in the perfect world, but in the real world SarahJames, Very informative reading. There appears to be some good and bad points with most email clients.
I am usinf Thunderbird but not really impressed. AOL is very good but not sure about their free webmail version. Gotta get away from Juno. Hi all, my first post Just moved to a new computer with windows 7 from XP and a bit of vista following this informative thread thanks Sarah I copied the "windows mail" folder from laptop to the program file in windows7. It did not work, clicking on winmail. Looked at the attrib of winmail. Submit for comments. From Froghorn could not see a box for my name.

There's also 3rd parties like Mozilla's Thunderbird. And these days you an also even use something like Chrome to visit "Outlook. So if you find the outlook.
