The password-protected Identities feature in Outlook Express
gave a false sense of security. Anyone with access to your PC could
open and read your mail files. Vista is all about *real* security,
so Windows Mail did away with the Identities feature.
If you need the additional privacy for your separate email accounts,
use separate Windows user logins. If you don't need the privacy, just
set up both email accounts under the same Windows user.
If you want, you can have incoming mail automatically sorted into
'His' and 'Hers' folders. Let us know if you need help with setting up
the message rules.
