Outlook 2007 log on to Vista?

[Guest]

Moving from Outlook Express to Vista's Windows E-mial is awful - there are no
identities to individually log on without seperate log on accounts to Vista.

My family has always 'shared' our kitchen PC resources and a common log on
to XP, but always authenticated individually to Outlook Express. To maintain
e-mail privacy we now have to log on and off Vista each time another family
member uses the PC.

Someone today told me that Outlook 2007 works with Vista - in that
environment, does Outlook 2007 use identities or is like Windows Mail in
authenticating accounts only thru loggin off? Does Outlook function like OE
on XP or is it 'clughed up' like Windows Mail on Vista too?

Outlook 2007 works on both Windows XP and Windows Vista and supports mail
profiles which is the equivalent of identities in OE.

You can use Control Panel-> Mail-> Show Profiles to manage them.

Roady, thanks for your response. Just to verify what I think you told me -
Outlook 2007 on Vista will allow me agin to have a single Vista log in and
the access Outlook 2007 with individual log in per account?

Flyfish,

Windows mail's help returns this when I searched on Profile
What is a user account?

A user account is a collection of information that tells Windows what files
and folders you can access, what changes you can make to the computer, and
your personal preferences, such as your desktop background or color theme.
User accounts make it so that you can share a computer with several people,
but still have your own files and settings. Each person accesses their user
account with a user name and password.

There are three different kinds of accounts:

Standard

Administrator

Guest

Each account type gives the user a different level of control over the
computer. The standard account is the account to use for everyday computing.
The administrator account provides the most control over the computer, and
should only be used when necessary. The guest account is primarily for
people who need temporary access to the computer.

And that is exactly what Flyfish doesn't want. He/She wants a single PC
logon and separate instances of mail configurations which was achieved by
Identities in OE which has been dropped in Windows Mail. Outlook supports
Mail Profiles which allows you to achieve the smae as with Identities.
