Accounts-Identities

E

Ellin

Running Vista Premium Home 64 bit. Verizon is my server. I use Windows
Mail. While I am the only one who uses the computer, I had three separate
accounts set up when I still had Windows XP. I still have these three
separate accounts however, since Microsoft in all of their dimwitted wisdom
did away with identities all of mail from all three accounts gets dumped
into one "mailbox". Whenever I want to print out the mail I must go to
"Accounts" and change the default account in order for the correct account
name to be printed on the respective piece of mail. This is most annoying.
Someone suggested downloading and changing to Windows Live Mail. That was
an even worse disaster because it changed the print in all of my programs to
look like the old dot matrix or what someone sees who has macular
degeneration. Two questions: 1) is there a solution to this? (Note: I do
not want to get into the mess of having to use passwords for three different
users because there is only one user) 2) Will this be solved by Windows 7?
As Microsoft "improves ???" their products one would expect the program
would get better. Instead it seems to become only more complex making
things more frustrating and inconvenient for the user. I'm on the verge of
changing to MAC. Anyway, thanks for any help you can give me. Ellin

1) Printing preferences are controlled by the Internet Options, so you might
try changing the font or something there.. Printing in both WM and WLM
seems to be pretty limited, probably due to not being in much demand.

2) Windows 7 doesn't come with an email program. Windows Mail can be made
to work, but it's not recommended since it's been deprecated. Windows Live
Mail is OS independent, as it works on XP, Vista and Win 7. Moving to Win 7
won't change WLM.
