Vista - How do I switch between accounts?

I have 3 email accounts set up. My provider has confirmed that all 3 should
work. My default is the only one I can log into. When I type my user name
and password in for the other 2, the security box just keeps poping up. I
sent a test message to all 3 addys, and it sent all three to the inbox on my
default account.

Something fishy going on here. If account #2 and account #3
don't work, how did you manage to receive three replies when
you sent one test message to each of the three accounts?

Are all three accounts under he same Windows user?

You say "it sent all three to the inbox on my default account".
Do you have more than one inbox? Unless you have message
rules set up, incoming messages will always go to the common
inbox.

Double check you have entered in all the information.

POP3 server name.
SMTP server name.
Username (in correct form)
Password
Does it require authentication?

Each account has it's own username and password.


Tools | Accounts, you should have an e-mail account set up for each.

Have you entered all three in Tools | Accounts?

It sounds like they are aliases for the same mailbox on the server, so the
first account to check the server will download the mail for all three
accounts.
