Windows Live Mail - How to automatically go to Unread Mail folder?


Recommended Posts

I have recently started using Windows Live Mail for my gmail account and I'm finding it really good. The only thing is, how do I get it to automatically go to the unread mail folder rather than the individual folders the mail comes to. I mainly want this so that I don't jump between the different mail folders I how rules set to send message to.

Any ideas?

Open Windows Live Mail. On the left, click on Quick Views > Unread e-mail. The next time you open WLM it will remember and open Unread e=mail automatically for you. In other words, WLM always remembers the last folder you clicked before closing.

    • Or, they could really turn the table upside down and rename it in BINARY. 00011001
    • I have tried that registry 'trick' from that video already. It doesn't work at all in Win11 for me   Yes it's a 3rd party app... that I am only using because of Microsoft breaking user customization in Windows 11. So yes... the is a Windows 11 issue. As of now to me, Microsoft has made a huge mistake with this in Windows 11.   The current font option in Windows 11 are terrible. They are just missing. People that want to use their own computer the way they want to, they need to avoid 11.
    • It's been an age since I did desktop support, but here goes: You have an issue with Windows 11, which is fair.  You are using a freeware 3rd party app to make modifications to the default Windows 11.  Since an update, this 3rd party application no longer plays nice with Windows 11.  And this is somehow Windows 11's fault? Sorry, not buying that this is a Windows 11 problem... it's a customization issue that has just appeared, but standard 3rd party support.   Clearly you're upset.  You can't make Windows do anything, just like you can't make MacOS run Explorer or Linux run Nintendo games natively.  And I know people are going to say "sure, it's possible..." but those aren't defining elements of the OS.  You can't have animated backgrounds in Windows 11 natively -- so it's trash amirite??? I did quick searches about changing the default fonts and there are ways to do it, and clearly 3rd party freeware apps can do it (basically my guess is they're making registry changes on your behalf) and clearly they're having issue.   You can make your computer do a lot of things, but sometimes you get what you pay for. Did a quick search and don't see an easy option in Windows 10 either.  Some of these links - ironically - are for Windows 10.  They still apply. Here's a video tutorial of how it can be done without a 3rd party:   Same reference here with a bit more detail: https://www.howtogeek.com/716407/how-to-change-the-default-system-font-on-windows-10/ Once the font is chosen, the size can be changed via personalization from my understanding. Hope this helps.
