I need to seperate accounts in windows mail

Each user has a seperate account with IP. When email is selected all emails
go into oine box. How do I get then seperated for each user?

Hi Mr. Lost,

The best thing to do is to have each user on their own user account in Vista. That way you can set Windows Mail up for each user account. This tutorial will show you how to create a new user account.

User Account - Create


If you prefer to keep using the same user account, then you can create a new mailbox folder and create a "Message Rule" to redirect one of the email account's email to it.

You can also use Windows Live Mail instead. It supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM will minimize to a tray bar icon and has a separate Inbox for each account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported from within WLM. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.) To see the Menu bar, press ALT+M and check "Show all menus".

For 32 bit and 64 bit Vista:

Re: I need to seperate accounts in windows mail

There's a couple of ways to do this.
About the best you can do with just Windows Mail is to use
message rules to separate incoming email so that different
accounts go into different inbox folders.

Another option (not free) can be obtained here:

A third option is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail (WLM).
Although WLM doesn't have the full-blown Identities feature
that OE had, nevertheless it has some of that functionality.
Separate folders for each account help to keep mail separated
without having to use any message rules.

The way you should do it, according to Microsoft, is by using different
Windows User accounts.

Or for $15 see this: WMIDs http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/Default.aspx

Or set up the accounts, make new folders and use Message Rules to move the
mail:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the message is from the mail.fjsmjs.com account
Move it to the fjsmjs folder
and Stop processing more rules
