  We study the WLP and SLP of artinian monomial ideals in
$S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots ,x_n]$ via studying their minimal free resolutions. We
study the Lefschetz properties of such ideals where the minimal free resolution
of $S/I$ is linear for at least $n-2$ steps. We give an affirmative answer to a
conjecture of Eisenbud, Huneke and Ulrich for artinian monomial ideals with
almost linear resolutions.
