Vista - RE: Identities or Multiple e-mail accounts

01-08-2008

There may be a way to have vista and e-mail. If you still need to have
multiple accounts, the easy way to do it is not to use windows mail at all,
but use Outlook Express. Go to the microsoft website and download Outlook
Express. install it on your vista machine, set up your e-mail accounts as
before. This may or may not work, but it should. If you're as impressed
with vista as I am, this is a viable solution to having multiple accounts.
This is the simple way to do it. Help file on vista is less than helpfull
about everything. Don't rely on the help files. Of course, there may be one
more built-problem. A good number of software programs that I've tried to
transfer to vista are not compatible. If Outlook Express is not
compatible......

Outlook Express won't run under Vista.

Windows Mail allows you to have more than one email account, but puts
the incoming mail from all of them into one Inbox. It doesn't do much
with identities.

If you want a separate set of folders for each email account, you might try
Windows Live Mail, which does this:

A better solution is to get the FREE mail program Windows Live Mail from the net. Much like OE and WM, but better and more features. companion product to Windows Live Messenger's IM/chat/video/file sharing app - also a freebie. Try it, you'll like it.
