several accounts

[Stefg]

Since My wifes computer is out of order I added her mail account to my
windows mail. I'm a Vista home premium user and I only have one user on this
computer. When I recive a mail (on my account) and answer it it answers (most
of the times not even always, appaears quite randomly) on my wife accounts
name. However when I manage my accounts my own mail-adress is known as the
main adress. Very frustrating. How can I change this without borthering about
making another user for this computer.

Since My wifes computer is out of order I added her mail account to my
windows mail. I'm a Vista home premium user and I only have one user on
this
computer. When I recive a mail (on my account) and answer it it answers
(most

name. However when I manage my accounts my own mail-adress is known as the

making another user for this computer.

Windows Mail replies using the account that downloaded the message. If the
accounts are really aliases for the same mailbox on the server, this will be
the first one that accessed the mailbox after the message was received.
Free email accounts are often aliases.
