Vista Tutorial - switching identities in windows mail.vista

In OE there were only 2 steps to change identities. In Vista there are at
least 6. I swear I have read every post of helpful hints and would I be
correct in assuming the least effort and least confusing to switching
identities would be to download the WMID program? I have spent hours
considering this. My husband and I use the same computer, files are not
confidential, but we want to attain autonomy on our own without logging off
and on every time we sit at the computer! Please help. Patricia

There are two (and only two) ways to have separate "Identities" in WinMail:

1. Use different Windows User Profiles.

2. Use Steve's WMIDs.

Do not send mail.

I have had very few complaints about WMIDs, and have quite a number of
customers.
