Email accounts in Windows Mail

[Guest]

I just set up a second email account with my ISP. I then set the new account
in Mail. When I start Mail or click the send/receive button, Mail only
checks the new account (not the default account). The only way to get mail
is to use the drop down on send/receive and select that account only.

How can I get Mail to check both accounts automatically?

For security reasons, you have to setup a second User Account
for a second email address.

I guess someone has to ask -
have you still got a tick in the 'Include this account . . .' box on
the General tab of Tools - Accounts - whichever - Properties ?

Although true, that's not what the poster asked.

For both accounts, go to
Tools - Accounts - youraccount - Properties - General
[x] Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing
