Multiple Windows Mail Profiles

Is it possible to establish three icons on the desktop for Windows Mail like
profiles that open three different email accounts without going back to
different windows identities/users?

The web says no but I thought I would ask the experts.

Thanks.

Re: Multiple Windows Mail Profiles

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:
