Hi Susan,

Windows Mail does not have the Identities feature. This program called
"WMIDs" will add the feature to Windows Mail if you want it. It costs
$14.95.

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

OR

You could switch to Windows Live Mail Beta 2 (WLM) for free. It
supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more
stable. Plus, WLM will minimize to a tray bar icon and
_has_a_separate_Inbox_for_each_account_. WLM will automatically import
Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. _Contacts_ will
have to be manually imported from within WLM. (Tools, Contacts, File,
Import, Address book for current Windows User.) To see the _Menu_bar_,
press ALT+M and check "Show all menus".

For US and UK (32 bit Vista):
'http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas'
(http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas)

For US and UK (64 bit Vista):
'Windows Live Beta 2 Suite Downloads'
(http://www.vistax64.com/windows-live/92348-windows-live-beta-2-suite-downloads.html)

For non-US and non-UK locations (direct download):
'http://g.live.com/1rebeta/WLM_en-us'
(http://g.live.com/1rebeta/WLM_en-us)


Hope this helps,
Shawn

I was able to follow those instructions and now can receive email from
accounts other than my default. Now how do I send from that account?

Start composing a new email. Check to see what is displayed on the
'From' line. If that is not the identity you want, click on it, and you can
select from the non-default account identities.

The new Windows Live Mail automates that process.

If you have to ask, you have 32-bit.

Last time I checked I was still 'live' so perhaps I will do.
The easiest way to handle multiple accounts is to upgrade to
Windows Live Mail:

Windows Mail doesn't have identities. It can use several email accounts
but it puts the incoming email for all of them in the same Inbox.

This thread is so comical - thank you all for a good laugh. One must laugh
when frustrated. It's all easy to those who know what they're doing. But
many of us who normally find things intuitive are having problems getting
more than one email address (that used to be identities in OE) to work in
this Vista mail program. I'm personally grateful to those of you who are
trying help us who aren't familiar with Vista or the new mail program. We
miss OE, but really need help setting up this new program.

So - I have successfully set up my basic email account (which I don't check
too often, as I use my work email more, but it's how earthlink knows the
account by), but my husband's identity account can't seem to work. I tried
setting it up as a separate account, and it shows on the list, but when I try
to send an email to that account (from my own laptop to this computer),
nothing happens.

Again, bless all you who listen to us frustrated users and still try to help
us! I'm lost and would do anything (almost) to get this done. (I've just
spent the last two full days trying to fix Internet connection from this new
desktop computer only to find that McAfee isn't well received by Vista -
deleting that program fixed my Internet connection - what a waste of my time).

Like someone wants to steal my email adresses, and the only way to get them is to copy paste them. Yeah, they stamped out that security hole real good. Too bad it's not a security problem, except in microsoft's head. Hey, I have an idea, why not fix the sieve, that is all windows products. They can't do that, so they will fix nonexistent problems. That is their M.O.

Your husband's email provider (who is probably also his internet
provider) should have instructions for setting up to use their email
servers. If they haven't written instructions for Windows Mail yet,
use their instructions for Outlook Express but under Windows Mail
instead. The instructions are probably somewhereon their web site.
Or, you could tell us who your husband's email provider is and see
if anyone here already knows where to find the instructions.

You might also check if mail to your husband's account goes to your
basic account instead.

There may be a way to have vista and e-mail. If you still need to have
multiple accounts, the easy way to do it is not to use windows mail at all,
but use Outlook Express. Go to the microsoft website and download Outlook
Express. install it on your vista machine, set up your e-mail accounts as
before. This may or may not work, but it should. If you're as impressed
with vista as I am, this is a viable solution to having multiple accounts.
This is the simple way to do it. Help file on vista is less than helpfull
about everything. Don't rely on the help files. Of course, there may be one
more built-problem. A good number of software programs that I've tried to
transfer to vista are not compatible. If Outlook Express is not
compatible......

Outlook Express won't run under Vista.

Windows Mail allows you to have more than one email account, but puts
the incoming mail from all of them into one Inbox. It doesn't do much
with identities.

If you want a separate set of folders for each email account, you might try
Windows Live Mail, which does this:
