New Vista user.

I have a couple questions concerning Windows Mail, one is how do I get my
contacts listed below my folders on the left side like used to with OE6 and
second which I'm afraid there is no answer is with OE6 I had two identies,
one for the whole family and a second for my work stuff, I would just switch
identies to receive mail seperately, with Windows Mail this option is lost?
I do NOT want to setup different Log ons to Vista just to do this..

You cannot have the contacts window within the WinMail window anymore.

A lot of people complained about the loss of Identities, so I wrote a
program that puts them back into WinMail. Just remember there is no way to
hide the messages (no security) between users if they are all in the same
user logon. www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/

No, you can't have the Contacts list arranged the way it was in OE6.

Identities are gone. You can use Message Rules to automatically
sort incoming mail into separate folders.

Thanks guys, I was afraid of that.... As for the identity issue I just
unchecked "receive and sync" under the properties for my work e-mail so it
doesn't automatically send and receive at Windows Mail start up.. Crazy, you
would think as MS OS's progressed more options would be available instead of
less..
