dual accounts

When you set Windows Mail up with 2 accounts how does it work? Do both the
accounts download to the same inbox?

Re: dual accounts

Yes, by default, all email from all accounts goes into the same Inbox.
There are four different ways of changing that:

1. Use separate Windows user logins. That gives total privacy.

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

3. Upgrade to 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:

Re: dual accounts

There's a tutorial here:
http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/ti...sage_rules.php

It was written for Outlook Express, but Windows Mail uses identical
message rules.
