Different email Accounts

[Manolo T]

I've added several accounts to Windows mail and when I enter Windows Mail I
get all the Accounts activated, I get all emails in the same Inbox folder. Is
it possible to set up Windows mail so that you can select which account is
active so that you only see the email related to that account. In Outlook
this was very simple and at the start of the application you can select which
account to use and you can also add password protection. I want too do the
same with Windows Mail

You can use message rules to divert messages from the inbox to other folders
to segregate them. Otherwise, MS has removed the Identities feature of OE.
My WMIDs program (www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/) puts it back again, but there is no
password protection, except in terms of the Windows User Profile.

Windows Mail does not have identities like Outlook Express did.
By default, all email from all accounts goes into the same Inbox.
There are four different ways of changing that:

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, no rules needed: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

4. Purchase an add-on called WMIDs:
