Mail that works for XP and vista

[Kate]

I am trying to help a friend who uses both xp and vista. They are used
to OE but I know vista did away with it for Windows mail. They use
multiple addresses and identities. I hate to have them learn another
program when their office system must remain OE. Any suggestions.
TY
Kate

There is no easy solution.
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:
