Unhappy Outlook Express help needed

For ages I've had both my work emails and my Hotmail emails coming in to two separate groups with their own inboxes within the same identity on OE, which was great

Now all of a sudden all my work emails are diverting to my Hotmail account, and are being downloaded by OE all into one inbox instead of two separate ones like before. This is a PITA because now when I'm replying to work related emails I have to remember to change the sender

What's ll of a sudden changed, and how do I put it back how it was?

Guess 1.

You have put an autoforward on your work e-mail to your hotmail account.

Guess 2.

You've changed one or more of your message rules (Tools/Message Rules)

Guess 3.

Micro**** have downloaded a "helpful" security patch which has ****ed you.

My money's on guess 3

I'd go with 3 above too - just had new MS security updates on all our PCs!

Simplest solution might be to install Thunderbird instead.

Well seeing as how I wouldn't know how to do guess 1

And I know that I haven't done guess 2

All that remains is for me to say:



THANKS A BUNCH MICROSOFT

FOR **** ALL

Not knowing enough about your "Work" e-mail set up it could have been someone in you IT Support department who has been on the Micro**** "How to help your clients" course.

If I told you that I was the IT support department, would that give you a better idea of the quality of the set up here?

We have a white board with "Microsoft Are Dicks" on it.

When someone asks why something isn't working we just point to it.
