Vista - multiple identities / accounts

09-04-2007

How do you set up, I've tried a few different suggestions I have seen on
other threads but I can not figure out how to get my wifes email. She's not
very happy with me right now

Step by step help would be appreciated, I am rather illiterate with computers.

Hi Derek He,

You have a few options.

1. Set up a separate Vista user account, one for each of you.

2. Switch from Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail Beta (WLM) instead. WLM will have a separate Inbox for each account. It also supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.)

For US and UK: http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas

For non-US and non-UK locations (direct download): http://g.live.com/1rebeta/WLM_en-us

3. You can get this great little program called WMIDs that is like the Identies feature in Outlook Express in.
