-=sorry for my bad English=-

I'm using "custom filters" with my principal hotmail account since like 6 month and I have always been pretty happy with it.

Now, I'm stuck at 36 filters ... hmhmhm, isn't that a strange "max" number ???

In the help, it is written this:

"You can create up to 11 custom filters to direct messages from your Inbox to another folder."

So, i'm a little lost! Anyone here using hotmail custom filters?

thx

HOTMAIL -> Options -> Custom Filters

If subject contains "sex" , transfer it on the "trash can" folder immediately

ive got a hotmail account i went to the options menu clicked custom folders and then you can create 11 of them,
36 must be the max number of filters it does seem like a strange number but so is 11 folders

I guess it must be 36. I just counted mine and it is full at 36 with no more spaces to add more. The last one I added "webcam" doesn't work as I have had a few with that in the subject since I added it :confused2
