Windows Mail - separate accounts/identities

[sfd323]

I've set up my Windows Mail with 2 separate email accounts, but all the
incoming mail for both accounts goes to the default acount inbox. How do I
separate these 2 accounts so each has its own inbox requiring a password for
access? I put in passwords for each account when I set them up. Please help!!

Windows Mail has no Identities, and no password. The passwords you entered
were to access your email server accounts.

Here are a few alternatives...

1. Create folders for each email account and create message rules to move
email addressed to each account into the appropriate folder.

2. Create and use different Windows Users, each with WM accessing only
their email account. (This is how you set a password to keep other users
out.)

3. Use the newer Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each
account, but no identities or password:

4. Purchase WMIDs which adds identities to WM

Five 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

5. Enable the Account column in the Inbox.
