Switching accounts

[Guest]

I have a new PC and am running Vista. On my old PC we had 2 accounts and
could switch back and forth. I created the 2 accounts, but mail for both
users - myself and my husband are now in the same account. How do I separate
them and identify the separate mailboxes?

Windows Mail (WM) does not have the separate identities feature
that Outlook Express had.
About the best you can do with WM is using message rules to
separate incoming email so that different accounts go into different
inbox folders.

Another option (not free) can be obtained here:

A third option is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail (WLM).
Although WLM doesn't have the full-blown Identities feature
that OE had, nevertheless it has some of that functionality.
Separate folders for each account help to keep mail separated
without having to use any message rules.
