    windows mail

    i tried to set up two separate accounts, the problem is e-mail from both
    accounts go to the same in-box. I would like to go from one identity to the
    other like in outlook express. Any suggestions?

    There are no "identities" in WinMail. One has to use different Windows users
    instead.

    If the only problem is that the mails go into the same Inbox:
    a) If use IMAP each account will have its own Inbox.

    b) Just create two folders (one for each account) and create a rule for
    sorting the incoming mails to the proper folder.

    Windows Mail does not have identities like Outlook Express did.
    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, and is
    ideal when two different people use the same computer.

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

    3. Upgrade to Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each
    account, no rules needed: http://download.live.com/wlmail

    4. Purchase an add-on called WMIDs:
