setting up separate email accounts in Windows Vista

I would like to set up a separate email account for my spouse in Vista and am
having trouble doing so. Set up one and it is listed as the default. Set up
the second one but can't figure out how to get to it. How do I switch from
one identity to another?

Re: setting up separate email accounts in Windows Vista

Windows Mail does not have identities like Outlook Express did.
Unless you set up message rules, all email from all accounts goes
into the same Inbox. There are four possible solutions:

1. Give each user their own Windows Users logins. This will give
complete privacy.

2. Use message rules to filter incoming messages into
separate folders.

3. Use Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each account.
No rules needed: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

4. Purchase an add-on called WMIDs:
