Switching identities?

[Guest]

I want to monitor two separate email accounts. I have Windows mail and Vista
Business. On previous Outlook Express, you merely clicked on identities and
chose and it would switch to the account. On Windows mail, I have the two
accounts set up properly, but how do I switch between them? If I click on
tools and then accounts it just brings up a wizard.

Your later message was answered.

Identities no longer exist in Windows Mail. 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 beta, which has a separate
inbox for each account:

I have the same problem switching to Outlook with Vista. Did you receive a
solution that worked that you could share with me?
