Vista - Managing Identities

Just changed notebook and move to Windows Vista and from Outlook express to
Windows mail.

Tool Managing Identities Disapear (comment from Help to use another account)
- It is not the same meaning, that tool was very helpful, I think who wrote
the program did not notice that tool was not only used for different people
or accounts, but IT WAS A VERY GOOD TOOL FOR CLASSIFYING OUR OWN MAILS
DIVIDED PER YEAR AND SO USING THE SAME USER ACCOUNT.

See comments below please:

1) I (and I could say we because many many colleagues do the same) use to
separate my own mails per year, each year with a different identity (e.g.
myname_2007, myname_2008).

2) At the end of each year the previous identity was saved as it was from
Dec 31, and a new identity was created for the other year. If I wanted to
switch from one to other I just clicked managing identity and change to the
one at the respective year. Very easy.

3) If I wanted to back-up all e-mails folders from that year I just copy and
save that identity file from that respective year. These files are very large
because contain all e-mails and folders from that year. (Imagine if we keep
adding year by year all mails in the same identity, HOW BIG THIS FILE TURNS
TO BE)

My e-mail account is the same, so I do not want to creat a new account or a
new mail, but NOW WITH WINDOWS VISTA:

4) The only way to import to my own account or identity now is importing and
getting the imported file in the same identity I am using now, what again
makes the current identity very huge in size, what make back-up much more
difficult and risky (if anything bad happens we loose all years messages);
that is what I am doing now to get solve this problem and make me able to
access previous years e-mails, and I have to created a new folder for each
previous years containing all folders from that year.

If this questions is well understood by Microsoft, I would suggest the
company to solve the problem as soon as possible and help us to fix this
problem creating again the managing identity in the Windows mail program.

I look forward to hear from you,

Marcelo

Marcelo,
WMIDs is a program written by Steve Cochran which lets you establish user
identities in Windows Mail as you could in Outlook Express. Not free, costs
$14.95 as of now. From here: http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/Default.aspx .
