Hello,
I recently got a new Windows 8.1 system, but needed an eMail client that was compatible with my ISP's mail servers. Windows Live Mail was the recommended solution. I have been using Outlook Express 6, so Live Mail is fairly close... but I've already run into several things that are rather serious disadvantages for me under Live Mail:
- The spelling checker does nothing. (It is on the toolbar, but always grayed out. I even set the option to always check spelling before sending messages, but it still does nothing). How do I get the spelling checker to work?
- I cannot find how to request read receipts for specific sent messages. Is this read receipt function available in Live Mail, and if so, how do I access it? (The only options I found only allow the request of read receipts for ALL sent messages, but I only want to do them on some messages).
- Each Email account has its own separate set of folders (Inbox, Sent, Junk, etc.). I prefer to have the messages from all accounts go into one common set of folders - like they do in Outlook Express 6. How can I set this up?
- Can the Junk Mail folders be eliminated and have all messages come into the Inbox(s) instead? If so, how?
- When I reply to messages, it always applies the eAddress of my default eMail account as the return address - instead of applying the eAddress of the account that the message came in on. How can I make it automatically use the account that the message was sent to? (Outlook Express 6 did this automatically).
TIA...
