I have always had a problem with Live Mail not filtering properly. It will send things to the wrong folder, allow them to go to inmail, send them to junkmail, etc, and does so arbitrarily and contrary to what I've entered into my message rules.

But, that's not my latest problem. When I try to to access my e-mail account, I get a message stating that I'm "...Currently offline. Would you like to go online?" With yes/no options. I press yes and the prompt goes away and reappears. No matter what I do, I'm not allowed to go onlline. In the toobar, I'm shown the "go online" option but pressing it does nothing. Of course, I recently did a Windows Update, but Live Mail worked normally afterward and then just stopped after I had gone online to my server to view my trash.
