Multiple Email Accounts

by John Hettish - 6/7/10 5:03 AM

I am new to Live Mail, coming from Outlook 2003. I like live mail since it seems to be just like Outlook Express, a client I used for years and worked quite well. I know Live Mail is a great improvement over Windows Mail (Vista)but there's some thing I'm having trouble with. I have multiple email accounts but would like to have only one inbox, not multiple inboxes. It doesn't matter to me which email address a message was sent from, only that I get it, see who it came from and get to read and respond to it.
Live mail treats my message rules (filters) as "Storage". I have a Storage inbox and then five seperate inboxes, one per email address. I'd like to have one inbox with filters, just like Outlook or Outlook Express but can't see a way to do it.
Am I missing something or do I need to go back to Outlook? I only went to Live Mail when I converted this computer from Vista to Win7.

windows live mail have a one page inbox from which you can access all inboxes from each id but you have to link all id's together and the cool thing is you can apply for one password for all id's just go to profile and follow the prompts and viola your done in 5-10 minutes hope that helps
