| | Need to add another user I've managed to set up my earthlink account to default to Windows Mail. How can I add another user in a seperate Windows Mail account? I found that I can add them in my account, but you have to switch identities back and forth. Isn't there a way to make another icon and have a whole seperate account? Thanks for any help. Vista is really kicking my butt because it's so different than XP. -- Live, Love, Laugh |

| | Re: Need to add another user Well, you're confised a bit. You can add them as an additional account in your Windows account. When you set up an account in Windows Mail, it is not just your account, it's just one of many that can be added. Set up a new Windows account (Control Panel | User Accounts) for them to use which is the way they designed to by removing the Identities feature Outlook Express had (but can be simulated by WMID on http://www.oehelp.com) "Renee'' Thompson" <ReneeThompson@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C6762E98-C0D6-4557-9262-91312BB63C5F@microsoft.com... > I've managed to set up my earthlink account to default to Windows Mail. > How > can I add another user in a seperate Windows Mail account?

If that is along the lines of what you need, post again. -- regards, Les Hay, Livingston, Scotland |

| | Re: Need to add another user Yes Les. I think this is what I want to do. Please advise. Another user told me to install another Windows mail account, but I am afraid that I won't be able to figure out who logs in to each account. Thanks. -- Live, Love, Laugh "Les" wrote: > "Renee'' Thompson" <ReneeThompson@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in > message news:C6762E98-C0D6-4557-9262-91312BB63C5F@microsoft.com... > > I've managed to set up my earthlink account to default to Windows Mail. > > How > > can I add another user in a seperate Windows Mail account?

| | Re: Need to add another user Add the second email account, then go to Tools, Message Rules, Mail, New, and use the wizard to write two rules. The rules will look something like this: 1. Where the message is from the 'A' account move it to the Inbox_A folder and stop processing more rules. 2. Where the message is from the 'B' account move it to the Inbox_B folder and stop processing more rules. Hope this helps.
