Hi Can anyone help. I had 2 seperate e-mail accounts when I used Outlook one
for myself and one for my wife to move from one to the other I went "file,
switch identities" . Have now a new PC with Windows mail on Vista and our
two mail accounts come into the one account in windows mail. How can i
seperate these?

You will need to use one or more Message Rules to "filter" incoming messages
to the desired (user-created) folder(s), Brian.

Example: Where the TO line contains [[email protected]; (e-mail address removed)],
Move it to [name of folder], and Stop processing more rules.

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, and is
ideal when two different people use the same computer.

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

3. Upgrade to Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each
account, no rules needed: http://download.live.com/wlmail

4. Purchase an add-on called WMIDs:
