Switching Identities just as O.E. with XP

[MapleE.]

Hi:
I miss old, Outlook Express with XP, although Vista Mail is better to keep
each identity
seperated.

Wonder whether some trick/program that is capable to make identities switch
easily
just as Outlook Express with XP has?

Thanks for any inputs on this.

There are four solutions:

1. If you need the extra privacy, use separate Windows user logins.

2. Purchase an add-on: http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs

3. You can separate incoming mail with message rules so that mail gets
sorted into different folders.

4. You can upgrade to the free Windows Live Mail, which has a separate inbox
for each account:

Thanks for the response.

I'd like to vote, #2, but one thing of which I want to know
is whether this 'add-on' is similar feature to the Switch IDs in
the Outlook Express of XP.

When I looked at it, it does not appear to have same/or semi-similar
feature. Because, after all I want to switch I.D.s with ease.

Thanks again,

That's exactly what it was written for, but the actual opening an ID or
switching to another takes place outside Windows Mail as described on the
page.
