Forward the emails from all other linked accounts to one main account that you use most often. By this way you need not switch back and forth to check your mails and you will know when a mail arrives.

So how to setup automatic email forwarding in Live Account?


To forward the emails from an account to another, click on Options and then More Options. Under the title Manage your account, click Forward email to another email account. Select the option Forward your mail to another e-mail address and list the email address where you want the mail to be forwarded. Click Save. Accept the confirmation email and all the emails will now be forwarded to the main account.



(Note: 1. All forwarded mail will be deleted from the current account as you have the copy in the forwarded account, 2) Login at least once in 120 days to avoid deletion of account)

!Important!: You may have to lower the junk filter options as the junk emails will not be forwarded. So set the junk filter option to low in the account from where the mails are forwarded and set it to the desired level in your main account. Now the junk mails will be filtered in the main account. You can change the junk filter options under, Options -> More Options -> Filters and Reporting -> Choose a Junk Email Filter. Select the option Low and Save.
