Live mail, create rule from message

sggaunt · Sep 20, 2011

I found message rules useful in OE and Windows mail.
and I know that you can manually set up rules in Live Mail, but where has the 'create rule from message' function gone?

I still wonder where most of the basic e-mail functionality in WLM has gone, guess this is one that also fell out [sadeyes]

Have you tried Windows Live Mail Support?

Support...

While viewing the message in the Reading Pane, Right click on the sender's name and select Copy. That puts their e-mail address in the Clipboard.

Then on the Folders Ribbon select Messages Rules, New, check the box where the From contains people. Then click on the Contains People link in the message rule then use Ctrl-V to paste the e-mail address into the rule.

Er Ok easy (trying not to be sarcastic, and failing)

and this thread is an interesting read..
