Question asked on Jul 25, 2014

All applications mentioned are current updated versions. I run Vista SP2 Home Premium. I use WLM. I have seven message rules set up under Outlook.com to place specific e-mails in specific folders. Three of the rules deal with email alias's and work fiine; they appear on Outlook and WLM. Four of the rules deal with folders I set up under "Inbox" and although they appear on Outlook, only the headers appear on WLM with the following text in the message area and I have to Click "here" twice to get the email to download.

After I set "download headers only" will it go back to the previously downloaded messages, remove the entire e-mail contents, then only keep the headers?Nov 1, 2012 Kontakta mig på 0760-464275.
