Setting Up Email Accounts in Windows Mail Vista

[jimf78]

I just got a new computer with Windows Vista and I'm trying to set up three
unique email accounts in Windows Mail. I've gone through the account set up
process and all three accounts are receiving email, but they are all going
into the default email account inbox. Also, there's only one account (the
default account) showing up in the folders panel that's on the left side of
the screen. What should I do?

Thanks,
Jim

You would prefer Windows Live Mail. http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

Windows Mail uses just one set of folders (such as the Inbox) for all
the email accounts that are entered.

You may prefer to download and install Windows Live Mail, which
uses a separate set of folders for each email account:
