Multiple users on one Laptop

My wife and I use the same Laptop with Vista Premium and Windows Mail. Our
previous deskside had Outlook and we each had our own e-mail account, simply
switching identities to check the different e-mail accounts. In setting up
our new Laptop, I spoke with Roadrunner Technical Support and the end result
was a Windows Mail environment where my e-mails and my wife's e-mails are
mixed in the same account.
I have set up separate Windows user accounts that appear when we sign on. I
don't know how to separate the e-mail IDs from the administrators account
and tie them to the new Windows Vista user accounts.
Can someone please tell me what steps I need to follow... describing them in
a language a novice user can understand?

Re: Multiple users on one Laptop

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking.

It sounds like you merely need to set up one email account
in each of the two Windows user accounts. What part do
you need help with?

Re: Multiple users on one Laptop

Gary.. Thank you for your response to my request for help.

What I don't understand is how to set up an e-mail account in the two new
Windows Vista user accounts. Actually move what has been set up in the
administrator account to the two new user accounts. I can't find any
instructions on how to do this. Can you help me out?

Thanks..

Re: Multiple users on one Laptop

You can't just "move" a mail account from one user to another user.
Set up the account from scratch for each new user.
If you have saved emails in the admin account that you want
moved to the new account, use the "Export" function from the admin
account, then "Import" into the new account.
