That *is* a client - called Windows Mail. what hotmail is called in some
circumstances is Windows Live Mail. The use of both is confusing, but if
you get a windows that *isn't* your web browser and it's showing your
email, that's an email client.

To do *what*? If you're trying to say check your mail, WM does that
automatically while it's running.
The program:
http://download.live.com/wlmail
The website:
http://download.live.com/wlmail
Yes, they're the same page - however if you look at the right side, you
will see that download - which includes *all* kinds of junk you *don't*
want, so don't - has the word "Mail" listed there. Hence Windows Mail.
The name change IMHO is probably the result of years of dealing with
such well deserved phrases such as "Outhouse Express".

Isn't it pretty obvious that what he wants to do is create a
new folder and a new message rule that says when new messages
come in that that meet the rules criteria, to move them to the
new folder?
To the OP... sorry I can't help. I don't use Windows Mail or
Windows Live Mail.

WLM is not email. It is a messenger service. Basically, a live online one
on one chatroom. I never had a reason to use one.
As for email, don't you have at lease windows mail? Which replaced Outlook
Express. If not, try thunderbird from the firefox people. It is fairly
close to OE and WM.

Just for kicks I just installed WLM. While I was at the site, I noticed
that they have windows mail available as well. So if you don't have it, try
the messenger download site and install it.

I just got out one of our laptops that's running 7 Home Premium
and in the start menu is Windows Live Mail. It looks to be an
email client. I was able to set up a gmail account but since it's
not connected to the internet I couldn't test it. But I didn't
find a way to create filters.

<q>
You might have noticed that Windows Mail isn't included in Windows 7.
However, you can install an e‑mail program from another company or
Windows Live Mail—a free program that is part of Windows Live Essentials.
</q>
Windows Mail came with Vista. No email client is included by default with
7. Hotmail and Windows Live Mail are not the same thing in any way. One
is a webmail service, the other is an email client. Windows Mail and
Windows Live Mail are not the same thing, either.
On the ball as usual.

To create a folder: If you don't see the menu bar, hit your Alt key to
show it. Click File, point to New, and follow the menus to make a folder.
To create a message filter: Again show the menu bar if it's hidden, click
Tools, point to Message rules, click Mail and make your rule.

All bookmark files are html. html is as close as you can get to a scripting
language without branching and iteration. QED.
Despite the fact that your sentence has absolutely no meaning whatsoever. Any
web browser can do that manually. Just like the only way you can first navigate
to those sites. That's the whole point of a browser.

There is no such thing as a "bookmark file". There is the concept of
"bookmarking" a URL in a browser but that is simple squirreling away the URL
for future use. Just as one might note the URL down on a piece of paper for
future use. One very common browser calls them "favourites". You really

No, bookmarks are not necessarily HTML. I can "bookmark" anything I can type
into the address bar on my browser, and that includes all the protocols,
http://, ftp://, file://, and whatever else might someday come to mind. You
really don't have any idea what you are talking about, do you.

HTML is most definitely not a scripting language. It is a markup language.
That is what the letters M and L in the name mean. Markup Language. You

You really are the most stupid person I have ever encountered anywhere. You

And it is STILL a fact that all flavours of Microsoft's email clients CAN
shunt emails around to different folders as they are downloaded. You really
don't have any idea what you are talking about, do you.

That so? I just bookmarked a text file. Here's its URL:
<file://localhost/home/~/Documents/zoning_minutes.txt>
Is that bookmark html?
Opera stores bookmarks in a file called bookmarks.adr. Here's an entry:

The point is that OE doesn't need scripting to filter a message any more
than Opera needs scripting to create a bookmark. Stay in school, fool.
Jordon
When I open my Outlook Express there's an entry on the
Tools Menu called Message Filters. I haven't used OE
in a long time but I have about 25 message filters that

Hotmail is not called, "Windows Live Mail" in any current circumstance. The
name was changed, once, from "MSN Hotmail" to "Windows Live Mail". And the
latest, low-end, free MS email client was, at that time, called, "Windows
Live Mail desktop". But that has all been changed due to the confusion that
still grips you. At the present time, there is, "Windows Live Hotmail", the
web mail service, and, "Windows Live Mail", the desktop client.

Windows Mail only comes with Windows Vista. OP has Windows 7, which has no
included email client (as shipped by Microsoft). The downloadable Microsoft
email client is called, "Windows Live Mail", and may be included by OEMs on
their computers.
Unfortunately, the result is some confusion, as "WLM" has been used for both
"Windows Live Messenger", and "Windows Live Mail".

Despite a couple of posters (you know who you are!) who don't know what they
are talking about, it is almost as easy to do in Windows Live Mail as it is
in MS Outlook Express. The hardest part is that MS hid the menu bar in
WLMail.
For the menu bar: Using the [Alt] key will toggle in into view so you can
access the items on the menu bar. If you want the menu bar permanently
visible, you have to use the icon between the Paintbrush (colors menu) and
the circled (?), or question mark. The icon appears as a page with an
arrowhead pointing to the right. When you click, you can select the last
item in the list: "Show menu bar". This will permanently (or until you
change your selection) reveal the menu bar.
Beyond that, it is as easy as in MSOE. Tools | Message rules | Mail. I would
recommend that you set up user added folders under the Storage folders
group, and not under any POP3 account, because deletion of a POP3 account in
WLMail deletes all folders related to that account. You will get a warning,
if you try, but many have ignored that warning and lost the account folders,
and their contents. The Storage folders are not affected by that action.

WTF are you talking about? Now your backpedaling. You told
the OP he couldn't move messages based on who they're from.
You can filter on from, cc, subject, text in the body, whether
it has an attachment and a few others. You can move them, copy
them, delete them, forward them, highlight them, delete them from
the server. You can create as many rules as you want.

Then the OP would use message *rules*,. Where the "very limited set of
circumstances" include:
the From header contains something,
the subject line contains something,
the message body contains something,
the to line contains something,
the cc line contains sosomething,
the to line OR the cc line contain something,
the message is marked as priority,
the message is from the specified account,
the message is more than some size,
the message has an attachment,
the message is secure,
all messages.
And then one can move or copy the message to a *specified* folder. Yes,
chuckup, one of any number of *specified* folders. I have at least ten
*specified* folders and I have message rules that move certain selected
messages to *all* of them.
Now, chuckup, go to a windows computer somewhere and HAVE A BLOODY LOOK.
Then STFU as you simply do not know anything at all about what you
attempting to talk about.

You're absolutely sure bookmarks are never stored as XML or json
files? HTML is a *markup language* with no scripting
capabilities. That's why a separate scripting language must be
used with it. Note the ML on the end of HTML and XML.

Silly boy. Email will only be deleted from the server of an email service
provider which has a policy of deleting the oldest email, until enough space
is created for new email, ***IF*** they have a policy of deleting email on a
first-in basis. Most ISPs now provide enough storage that your email will
never be deleted. My ISP has about 2 GBytes of storage.

Neither do I work for Microsft in any capacity; or I'd have told them that
their naming schemes would only confuse the end users. But Microsoft is what
it is. They created two unique email clients, MS Outlook (component of MS
Office) and MS Internet Mail and News (bundled with MS Internet Explorer).
Then one bright idiot (probably one of your relatives) had a brilliant
stroke of "Marketing Genius" (which is, usually, actually, some form of
insanity), and renamed "MS Internet Mail and News" to "MS Outlook Express";
thus forever causing end users to think that they were built on related code
(they were not).
Then they really mucked things up with their "Windows Live Essentials", and
Hotmail.
I was just the messenger.

Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. Ain't that the truth. The community fools of this
group can't quite seem to grasp how MS has muddied their own waters.

I expect it would take a few years to accumulate 2 GBytes worth of email in
my ISP mailbox. Especially since there is very little spam in the Inbox.
Their filters are pretty good about that.

But you are. Making silly, sweeping claims which defy the way many email
service providers now operate.

Indeed. You are, in fact, among the least qualified of the responders in
this thread. You clearly don't know what you are speaking of.

I was asking for clarification of your ambiguous statement. The
one that you redacted from your latest reply.
Clarification of *your* words does not hinge on the identity of
previous participants in this thread.
