I have three linked email ids - xx...@msn.com, xx...@msn.com and xx...@msn.com.
xxx1 is the primary email I use.

On the Windows Live page for this account (and for xxx3), the functions
right above the email list says: New | Delete Junk | Mark as Move to |
Print Icon

On the xxx2 account, the functions right aboe the email list says:
[Check box] View: All | Unread | From contacts | Social updates | From
groups | Everything else << [Arrange by
drop down]

I can't figure out how to get my primary (and tertiary) email address page
to look and act like the others. It's like their pages haven't been
updated. Any suggestions?

Microsoft is slowing upgrading the Hotmail servers cluster by cluster to
support the new Wave 4 functionality. You have no control over the
upgrade schedule, nor can you opt out (as far as I know).
You are more likely to find Hotmail advice and help here:

If no help there, post your issue in the Hotmail forum:

Basically, stop trying to get the accounts to look the same.

Windows Live is in the process of rolling out all new Wave 4 features to all Hotmail type accounts(hotmail, msn, and live.com).
Some acccounts have the new features(what you see in your xxx2 account), other accounts do not.

There are about one billion Hotmail type accounts...ie. a lot to update. As each cluster(a mix of accounts all over the
world...ie. not country or language specific) of email accounts are updated, some backend testing is being done to look for
problems, once everything is in order and with storage indexes built/completed for a give cluster the next cluster of accounts is
upgraded, the process repeated until all accounts are complete.

Initially, the Windows Live Team posted in June that it 'will take a few weeks to finish' (whether or not that time table is met or
the window that 'a few weeks' means was not quantitatively defined)..you can read more about the update process here..

Of note from the above..there are multiple phases of the upgrade regarding all features and availability
<qp>
Additionally, while most people will see all the new features at once, as soon as their cluster is upgraded, some features, like
the integrated Office Web Apps and the ability to send files via SkyDrive, will initially be available only in certain countries.
For example, Office integration will first roll out to Hotmail customers in the US, Canada, UK, and Ireland first, and then to
customers in other countries later this year.
