Identities - users, and Windows Mail. Help please!

[Guest]

New Computer, Vista.

Imported my old OE settings and files - they all went into Windows Mail on
my main account. I had 3 identities. Since WM doesn't allow identities I had
to create 3 users for my computer. Me, Wife and Work.

a) is it possible to have all the same settings, desktop, etc. for all 3
users? I'd like everything EXCEPT the mail to be identical.

b) while I can see all 3 identities in my main login - I cannot import said
email accounts individually. When I login as my work or my wife - it cannot
'see' the mails!

TIA

Bob

To do that, you'll have to equate the registry key across Users. See
www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm

For b, you'll have to import into your wife's user profile the identity that
corresponded to hers.

You might want to give my Windows Mail Identities program a look

Steve,

re: your identity program

How would i best go about doing this. ie, dl your prog first or move my oe
stuff first? I have 3 identities in OE, me, work, wife.

A second issue for me seems that no matter what email client i test - when
it goes to import my address book - it comes over as one big book - with all
my, work, and wife's contacts combined. Any trick to that?

email me in the future on my programs.

Probably set up each Identity with its own store and then import each one to
each one.

I'm not sure about this. Right now WMIDs doesn't handle separate contacts.
