Identities or Multiple e-mail accounts

[Guest]

I just purchased a new PC with Windows Vista and I can't get both mine and my
daughter's e-mail addresses to be identitied in Windows Mail. I created User
Accounts for each of us in Vista, created the accounts under Windows
Mail/Tools but when I click on File and Identities to switch Identities, I go
to a wizard to import the identities and any of the options that I choose
tells me that all identities have been either imported or deleted and then I
can't complete the Wizard. Please help!!!!

Dante said it best,

"Abandon all hope, all who use Windows Vista"

This the most useless software microsoft has put out. Nothing works, not
software, not hareware, email, the os should be recalled. It should be
stamped "programed by a retarded monkey"

Microsoft plain and simple, ripped you off. Get XP while you still can. I
have a dual boot system, XP is the only OS I will be using. Vista is
shovelware, microsoft shovels it out the door to unsupecting PC buyers. Apple
will clean microsofts clock. Vista can't compete with a real OS. It's trash!!!

Since millions are using it successfully, failure says more about the operator
than the operating system.

I happen to have it set up. It's just that it's so moronic. It is anything
but intuitive, it couldn't be more confusing. And why is it that way? Just
for the "Hell of it?" Or is some simple minded security "feature?" It
probably is microsofts way of making it "easy to use." Like I said microsoft
will keep "ungrading" until their is no functionality left. As an example
you can't copy/paste an email address anymore. That just makes things harder,
NOT easier. They are morons!

Do not send mail.

Not from your contacts list, You have to start a new message to the person, then copy. You can't just copy it from the list. Like I said, midrosoft makes thinks harder, (more steps) NOT easier.

Why would you need to copy an email address? Just start a new message, click on TO and select the recipient.

 

[Guest]

I have exactly the same problem. Someone please help!!

Windows Mail does not have the identities feature.
For ultimate privacy, you would need to use two separate Windows
user login accounts.

If privacy is not an issue, both mail accounts can be set up under
one Windows user. By default, all incoming mail will go into a
common inbox, but that is easily changed with message rules.

I like to copy/paste an email address when web sites, such as this one , demand an email address it takes having a typo out. microsoft feels this is some wiz bang, security feature. Like someone wants to steal my email adresses, and the only way to get them is to copy paste them. Yeah, they stamped out that security hole real good. Too bad it's not a security problem, except in microsoft's head. Hey, I have an idea, why not fix the sieve, that is all windows products. They can't do that, so they will fix nonexistent problems. That is their M.O.

Gary, Frank, Steve,

I experienced a similar saituation. I set up, or at least I thought I set up
email accounts for my wife and myself from scratch. No importing anything
other than actual emails from my ISP's web mail. ISP software will not work
on Vista or didn't when first purchased. i was able to down load and clean up
over 600 emails before I got the error leading me to believe it is now trying
to download my wife's emails. I now get an error message "host pop.xxxxx.net
could not be found. Please verify you have entered the server name correctly.
Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CC0D. How do you set up both email
accounts under one window user?

Les , how apropreate, get a life

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
should be uninstalled.

By the way, when we're trying to solve a problem it is much easier when we
are given error messages that are complete and accurate. Yours was neither.

Found it! Wife's server address had a comma instead of a dot....renamed each
account from pop address. hit the pull down on send & receive and there both
email accounts were!

Thanks

I hope this helps.

To receive emails to more than one "identity" now known as "accounts"
With Windows Mail open,
go to the TOOLS option
Click on ACCOUNTS
Look in the box labeled MAIL
If the email accounts you are trying to set up to send and receive are
displayed in that box, you're part way there.


Now
Hilight your daughter's email address and click on PROPERTIES

In the window that opens, make sure you're looking at the GENERAL tab.
Then look down the page and make sure you've checked off the box next to
INCLUDE THIS ACCOUNT WHEN RECEIVING MAIL OR SYNCHRONIZING

Also check to be sure your daughter's name and email address are on that page.
Now go to the tab mared SERVERS and make sure the incoming and outgoing mail
boxes are correctly filled in.
Enter your daughter's email password in the PASSWORD box.
Now click APPLY and OK.

Next you should create a folder for your daughter's email
Go to the left column and find LOCAL FOLDERS
Right click on LOCAL FOLDERS and select the option NEW FOLDER
Give it a name (your daughter's or whatever you'll recognize)

Now you've got to go back to TOOLS and selecvt MESSAGE RULES and then MAIL.

You must then create a rule that says that all mail that is addressed TO or
CC TO or Blind CC to your daughter's email address should be directed to the
FOLDER you have just created under LOCAL FOLDERS.

Just take your time on this page. You shouold be able to figure it out once
you get this far.

To test, I suggest you send your daughter some emails and see if they go
into her folder.
