Vista - E-Mail Account Mix Up

Using my e-mail account on Windows Live Mail while another person on the same
PC was using the old version. When he decided to log in to windows live mail
instead of the old one, it got mixed up and now my account and his acount
have joined togethor with all his e-mails, folders and everything else gone
into mine.

When we logged into his it had done the same all my stuff had gone into his.
Any help?

I'm sorry but I'm not following your situation here.
How can you have multiple versions of WLM on the same computer?
WLM should install once then each login account will use the same version..
The file stores are kept under your windows login folder in "My Documents
and Settings" and therefore shouldn't get mixed up.

Can you give me any further information. Exactly which versions are you
talking about? What do you mean by "using your email account"? Does each
person have their own windows login account or do both of you use the same
windows login?

Not sure about "after the fact" assistance. I would never have allowed
another person to access my computer on my Windows Login. I'd give him his
own Windows Login account, and log mine out when I was done. With a password
that only I know. Because Windows Live Mail assumes that the user of the
account is the same, it stores all email data in the same location, thus
co-mingling all email accounts under one Windows Login ID.

To keep mail separate, create a unique user Windows Logon User account for each person using the pc. Each Windows logon account
when using WLM with their own unique Live ID will sync with the server make that Live ID's users mail, folders, etc. accessible.
