User Names

Hi. My wife and I share a single hotmail account, and we each have our own
windows (XPsp2) user accounts. I been using WLMail for a couple of months
and when she would read or send mail from her windows user ID, it would use
her name. And when I used WLMail from my windows user ID, it would use my
name for to and from. Recently, I've been getting emails, with her name,
while I'm in my account. Where is this controlled, I.e. are there settings
somewhere that tell it whether to use her user ID or my user ID that may
have gotten corrupted? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
Larry

Re: User Names

WLM does not have a setting to specify a Windows user id.
Why not just obtain a separate hotmail account for each windows user profile ?
