To whom it may concern:

I am new to Vista and windows mail.
I tried to add all 5 of my emails to Window Mail. It only let me add one.
I can add others, but it all goes into the same inbox. I would like to have
different identities. I have went under Identities and add, but it doesn't
accept my screen name or password. I do know they are correct. How can I
add my other emails as there own identities?
Please help me!!!

You can't. Windows mail does not support identities. In Vista the approach
it to set up separate logon identities, and then each person will have their
own "instance" of Windows Mail, and complete privacy.

Or, you can download Windows Live Mail and install it. It does support
identities.

Good luck.

Even Windows Live Mail doesn't support Identities, but it does
give each account its own set of folders, thereby keeping
mail separated without rules. So there are four options:

1. Use separate Windows user logins. That gives total privacy.

2. Use message rules to filter incoming messages into
separate folders.

3. Upgrade to Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each
account: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

4. Purchase an add-on called WMIDs:

In Windows mail, you can create more then 1 account. After creating the
accounts, create folders, for example Inbox Account1, Inbox Account2, etc.
Then make rules which will put all incoming emials into these folders. To
make folders right click on Local Folders and New Folder. Then after you have
created the folders, goto create the rules. Rules are basically things the
program does when an incoming mail is received. There are other rules such as
when email sent, but for you now, the incoming part is the main thing you
should look at.

Goto Tools -> Message Rules -> Mail...
This will open a new window, which at first seems like allot, but once its
created its great.
Next in the new window. On the right side click on New... then
Where the To line contains people <-- check this box in the first window
towards the top.
Move it to the specified folder <-- check this box in the second window.

You will see some other detailed information in the 3. Rule Description
below. Click on the links, each will open a new window where you enter in the
proper details, such as the email addresses for each account you created for
"Where the To...." and also the folder you just created for the "Move it to
the...." In 4. Name of the rule: I usually use a name which I can recognize
easily such as for example: Email - Incoming Account #1 <-- name this the
account name or persons name on the account to make it easier to remember a
year later, etc.

Hope this helps :->
