Hello, I have a certain address that I don't ever wanted sync'd to my Windows Live Mail. So in my Hotmail, I set up a filter with the option:

That did the trick. The message never reached WLM, even the Deleted Items folder. Starting 2 days ago, 4/15/14, I started getting new-message notifications in WLM and when I check, the new message is in "Deleted Items". This is what I was trying to avoid in the first place: new message notifications for deleted items.

Did something break in the past few days?
