Windows Mail doesn't have identities. It can use several email accounts

Last time I checked I was still 'live' so perhaps I will do.
The easiest way to handle multiple accounts is to upgrade to
Windows Live Mail:

That way you don't have to sort it. It's all thrown together in one place,

Actually, not true. I have a number of accounts and newsgroups (like this one) and all the incoming mails goes to that particular group/accounts own, separate, unique folder. Now all the sent mail and deleted mail all goes to the same sent folder and deleted folder.

No trees were harmed in the sending of this message and a very large number of electrons were asked their permission to be terribly inconvenienced. And a party was thrown for them afterwards for being really cool about it.

Some users like it that way, I guess.

Here are a few alternatives...
1. Create folders for each email account and create message rules to move
email addressed to each account into the appropriate folder.

2. Create and use different Windows Users, each with WM accessing only
their email account. (This is how you set a password to keep other users
out.)

3. Use the newer Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each
account, but no identities or password:

4. Purchase WMIDs which adds identities to WM

Some of us like to do our own sorting of incoming mail, by using
message rules. Others may prefer the way Windows Live Mail
automatically sorts incoming mail into multiple account folders.
It's nice to have choices.
