Multipe e-mail accounts

[jaytay]

I have two email accounts; why do I receive the messages sent to one account
in the second account?

You don't. But Windows Mail puts the email from all accounts into one
Inbox.

Here are a few alternatives...

1. Create folders for each email account and create message rules to move
email addressed to each account into the appropriate folder.

2. Create and use different Windows Users, each with WM accessing only
their email account. (This is how you set a password to keep other users
out.)

3. Use the newer Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each
account, but no identities or password:

4. Purchase WMIDs which adds identities to WM

After reading my own email I can see where it is not very clear; when a
message is sent to account nbr 1, I recieve a duplicate message in account
nbr 2 (a completely different email address).

Dave, thank you for the info; since this for home use only, I think it would
be to my advantage just to create a second user account and create a new
email address, thank you again.

Are you sure they're truly separate accounts, and not a master account and
alias account for it? If you want more than one email account at many
email providers, they prefer to give you a master account and as many
alias accounts as it takes.

Be warned that that may not work if your email addresses are ALIASES of the
one master address. If your email addresses are in the format
(e-mail address removed) then they most probably are.
