The answers I got were they wanted one message store location, a changed
message store database and should users want separate Identities, use a
Windows log on account to separate them.

The current message stores are even less secure than before. Each message is
stored individually as a .eml text file where before it was stored in one
file in 512kb parts all over the file. To get to those messages, the user
had to import them into OE where as now, they can just open them and with
the subject line showing in Vista's Explorer, it's even easier to see which
message is which unlike the way it is with XP and Windows Live Mail desktop,
Explorer currently doesn't show the subject line but shows it as a hex
value. Still the same .eml text file. Just a little harder tofind particular
mail. (which I have already sorted out that and made it easy to read).

If it were for the corruption problem in the dbx files, they would have been
a bit more secure than the current model.

So saying Identities was probably the reason isn't even close.
