Can't switch identities

[tameka]

Steve, I did as you suggested and got the response that "all identities have
already been imported or deleted", but I still cannot switch between the two
identities that I have.

I'm trying to setup my email on my laptop and it's telling me allidentites
have already been imported or deleted. What can I do to set it up now.

I have two email addresses and I can't switch between them

Windows Mail does not use identities

You can set both up under the same user. Go to Help | View Help and then
search for Identities.

They removed the identities feature.

You can add multiple accounts, via Tools - Accounts - Add, but Windows Mail
doesn't have identities or a password option....
Windows Mail puts email from all accounts into the same Inbox, and there's
no setting to change that. When you send a message, you can select which
account to send from, by clicking on the From: box.

Here are a few alternatives to keep your email separate...

1. Create folders for each email account and create message rules to move
email addressed to each account into the appropriate folder.

2. Create and use different Windows Users, each with WM accessing only
their email account. (This is how you set a password to keep other users
out.)

3. Use the newer Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each
account, but no identities or password:

4. Purchase WMIDs which adds identities to WM

5. Use Windows Mail for one account, Windows Live Mail for another, etc.

So all that is done but Windows mail still does not send 2nd address's mail
into the first account. How does one get them to do that?

 

[jhall]

Please explain your setup and what you are trying to accomplish.

Go to Tools, select account, add or remove email. after that, is pretty
straight forward.
You can create several email accounts (not sure how many, not there yet)
under you user account.

Windows Mail has only one Inbox, so by default, all incoming messages
get dumped into the common Inbox.
There are three different ways to change that:

1. Use message rules to filter incoming messages into
separate folders.

2. Upgrade to Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each
account, no rules needed: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

3. Purchase an add-on called WMIDs:

I have 5 email addresses and they are all tied into one? I just got this
computer yesterday with Vista and I don't know anything about it. Does anyone
know how you can seperate the different email addresses? Thank you
