Windows Mail, Identities, other user accounts

[Les]

Hi

Using the File->Identities option in Windows Mail tells me there are
multiple identities. However, continuing and selecting the either the delete
or import option tells me that all identities have been deleted/imported.
The middle option, 'Import from a different windows account' asks:

'This identity is stored in another user's account and requires Windows
authentication. Please enter the password for the following Windows user.'

with name and password fields blank

What's this all about? Very confusing. I am logged in with my default user
account as set up on initial running Vista Ultimate. There is a disabled
Administer account - would that be what Windows Mail is asking for?

That first window is apparently in error. My Vista Ultimate was installed
on a freshly formatted drive and gives the same message, so we have a bug
here.

OK Frank, thanks
