Windows mail accounts

[Mike C.]

I'm new to Vista. How do I set up two completely separate and private email
accounts for myself and my wife in Windows Mail? I keep seeing my own mail
when I start WM.

You can't do it in Windows Mail. WM puts email from all accounts into one
Inbox. No Identities, no passwords, no privacy.
You can create Vista login accounts for each of you, and set up WM in each
account to only access that person's email.

The newer Windows Live Mail has separate Inboxes, etc. for each account, but
there's no privacy.

You can use message rules to steer e-mail to separate folders, but this is a
convenience option. There is no security. Another thing you can do is to
shut off "remember password" in the accounts. This will prevent the files
from being downloaded but still will not provide security once they have
been downloaded. Other than logging onto separate Vista Windows, there's no
way to keep these separate. WLM is a little closer to what you might want.

HI! No impossible. I have four account in my windows mail, I see all
You have one way:
go to control panel user account and each person will separately have its
proper entrance in windows. both can be administrator or one is
administrator and the other is user. In such a way each one will have its
proper programs and to use windows mail and thus nobody will see the email
of the other.

The only way to have complete privacy is to set up a separate Windows user
login for each user.

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:
