multiple users on Outlook Express to Windows on Vista ????

[Guest]

I just set up my email accounts on Vista with Windows Email. On my old
account, Outlook Express, I had two seperate email accounts. One was for
business and one was for personal. I would open Outlook Express and choose
which email account I wanted to check. Any emails sent or received would
always be in the appropriate mailbox. I have managed to set up both emails
and I have got it to where I am now prompted to log in with a password for
each account seperately, but it doesn't matter who sends me an email or which
account they send it to, it goes to both accounts. I think I understand that
windows will let me set up different users with the Windows email on each
account, but it's just myself that uses the computer and I don't want to have
to log off and on between users just to check my personal email and then to
check my business email. I also want emails sent to my business to go only to
my business email and my personal to my personal email. Is there anyway
around this. It seems a bit ridiculous that I should receive an email sent to
my personal account also go to my business account.
Is there anywhere I can download Outlook Express 6 and is it compatible with
Vista?
Any help would be greatly apprcieated.
Thanks,
Linda

Besides the solutions mentioned by the other responders, you can
achieve virtually the same thing in Windows Mail by using message
rules. You will need to go into Tools > Message Rules > Mail > New,
and the wizard will guide you through the creation of a new message
rule. You should wind up with two rules looking something like this:

1. Where the message is from the 'Business' account
move it to the Business folder
and stop processing more rules.

2. Where the message is from the 'Personal' account
move it to the Personal folder
and stop processing more rules.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much. I will try this method if the "create message rules" option
does not work as I'm hoping.
