can't create more than 1 email account!!!

[DAVID M. KENDRICK]

For 5 years I used XP and office(with outlook). The Outlook Exporess was
ALWAYS
configured with 3 email accounts (including 3 sister newsgroup accounts,
i.e. 6 accounts.)
Outlook however, setup by design with only the primary email account and no
NNTP.
Comcast ISP provides 7 client based mail accounts, and with corresponding
NNTP accts
is desired.
VISTA!!!....(sucks...they must be crazy!!) Should I just scrap this thing
and the future that's
coming with windows 7????? I am shocked to learn WinMail is limited to a
single account?
Hey, I get 7,.,..and am paying for them! Comcast has no refund if you don't
use what's
supplied in the account agreement. Their solution.......search the
internet for freeware/shareware,
something ought to turn up sooner or later!!! What the....F......,
hey......Verizon's FIOS
now beats Comcast price and performance!!!!! Getting back to Microsoft, I
insist on
using Outlook Express they way I have for years! I don't want to stinking
webmail, i.e.
Hotmail etc.. I want that stuff right here on this hard drives. Subpoena
my email..... I'll
see if that hasn't already been shredded by security, ( at 7x, no less).
Ok, lets load up
the Outlook Express on VISTA.........what? OE 6 is Microsoft software, the
one before Vista.
Cant do it? Uh, don[t give me that crap. You mean won't do it.....tell
the truth, damn it.
Some code jockey says, OE6, (the 6th full Version) really isn't safe any
more. Aw shucks,
Microsoft, then just reduce the Vista price 50 bucks and pass on email
clients. After all
doesn't everyone go to inherently unsafe webmail for countless stupid
reasons? Why its
so popular that my ISP, Comcast even includes that in their package. Never
mind that as
soon as their preset limit (s) per account is reached, all freezes like an
artic winter.
I say, make O. E.6, into 7 or recommend a hacker site, or charge
me.....just give
me what I had damn't the hell. Otherwise I format this machine, and never
up grade
the others. I will reinstall XP, and revert to the multiple account setup
as I, the owner
and user preferred. Or should I just start over with Mac???
Really, pissed off, Graham R. Barnes

What are you on about?

Everybody else can have multiple accounts.

Nice rant, but totally wasted.
Windows Mail can accommodate up to 32 POP3 or IMAP email accounts.

Tools - Accounts - Add

However, WM has been deprecated in favor of the newer Windows Live Mail.

Congratulations, you posted that with two valid email addresses
included, which will now be "Harvested" from the newsgroup and used by
spammers.

Actually, it isn't. It's limited to *one inbox*.

If you need to read multiple mail accounts and want to have multiple
inboxes, use the free Windows Live Mail, which does have that feature.
