user accounts

[Ernie at triadcustomcomputers]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to use the account function where you supposedly can set up your
home account and then your work account in Windows Mail. Having done away
with identities, you have to use tools->accounts to set them up. I have two
accounts set up, one is me, the other is support, but I can't seem to find
out how to switch between them. When I set them to be the default account,
each in its turn it merged all the messages in my inbox view.

Any Ideas?


Thanks, Ernie

You can use Message rules to segregate the incoming messages from different
accounts (see http://www.mindspring.com/~oe_oh/ and the sections on message
rules). Also I wrote a replacement for the Identities feature that allows
one to segregate the message stores between accounts. See
www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/

Four possibilities:

1. Use different Windows Users

2. Make new folders and make a message rule like this:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the message is from the mail.fjsmjs.com account
Move it to the fjsmjs folder
and Stop processing more rules

3. Use Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each account:

4. Buy WMIDs http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/Default.aspx
