Windows Live Mail
In order for IMAP to work correctly with Windows Live Mail, the settings are by default set to not assign mail folders correctly. You will need to create a path for the folders under the IMAP tab on Account Properties. Be sure that the boxes for Check new messages in all folders and Store special folders on IMAP server are checked. The path for these folders are :
-
Inbox: Inbox
-
Drafts: Drafts
-
Junk: Junk
-
Deleted Items: Trash
-
Sent Items: Sent
If the paths are set up accordingly, the other alternative is to delete the mail account within Windows Live Mail and recreate the email account from scratch. The removal of the email account will not affect your emails on the server
