Email account files

[Richard Oz]

How do I set up individual files for multiple email accounts?
Will incoming mail automatically go to the relevant account file?
(Outlook express used to separate files for "identities" to which individual
ID'S mail would go)

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 doing what you want:

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:

Sounds to me like option 3 would be the best for you.
