I set up a mail account in Windows Live Mail using IMAP (non-Microsoft account - my mail provider allows IMAP). This works on one computer - however I can see only the Inbox folder in Windows Live Mail - the server has more folders Sent and Thrash. Also, I tried to create more folders in Windows Live Mail under the IMAP account, but the program will not allow me to create the folders.
Another issue: I tried to set up the same IMAP account in Windows Live Mail on a laptop. The connection seems to work, but it won't allow me to download IMAP folders. So unfortunately it's not going smoothly as one would have hoped. Thank you.
