Hi Dave,

To do this, you can:

1. Have each user with their own Vista user account. This way they can setup Windows Mail with their own email accounts, and everyone's will be separate.

User Account - Create


2. If you do not want separate Vista user accounts, then you can create new mailbox folders for each email account in Windows Mail and setup Message Rules to redirect the email to them.


3. If you do not want separate Vista user accounts, then you can also use Windows Live Mail (WLM) instead of Windows Mail. 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 email 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".

Windows Live Suite Downloads

There is no identities feature in WM, as there was in Outlook Express.

Create a separate Vista user login account for each user.
Set up Windows Mail for each user to only access their email account.
