WLM Junk Mail Filtering by Subject Line content

In the old web based HOTMAIL, we could filter junk mail by examining Subject
Line content (all, start or portion). I like the WLM both desktop and
webbased versions, but I am unable to filter my junk mail by examing subject
line content.

Does this option still exist, if so how do I get to it?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

WLM is only a desktop version.

Windows Live Hotmail(WLHm) is the web UI for Hotmail type accounts(Hotmail.com, Live.com, Msn.com)

A Junk Mail setting to filter by subject is not an option in WLM or WLHm.

One does have the option to Safe List by email address in either.

One does have the option in the web UI(WLHm) to sort Inbox messages to a folder. If the Hotmail account is using the http protocol
in WLM, then the folder and message will be available locally after download/sync in WLM.

There is no web based version of Windows Live Mail (WLM). WLM is a PC
based only program. It can access a web based Hotmail account as well
as POP3 and IMAP. But the features in WLM are unrelated to the web
based service.

In WLM you can filter on subject by using message rules - Tools (ALT+T),
Messages Rules, Mail. But message rules only work with POP3 accounts.
For IMAP or Hotmail accounts any filtering must be done on the server.

You would have to set up your Hotmail account as a POP type in
Windows Live Mail in order to enable filtering via custom rules.

One does have the option in the web UI(WLHm) to sort Inbox messages to a *folder*. If the Hotmail account is using the http
protocol
in WLM, then the folder and message will be available locally after download/sync in WLM.

Folder = Inbox, Junk, previously created user folder, or new folder created during filter configuration
