Hi wstanley!

1. Open Windows Mail.
2. Click the Tools menu, and then click Accounts.

Click Add, choose the type of account you want to add, click Next, and then follow the instructions.

Hope this helps!

Hi WStanley,

Welcome to the forum. :party:

The accounts will share the Inbox by default in Windows Mail. The only way to separate them in Windows Mail is to create a new mailbox folder, and create a Message Rule to redirect one of the email accounts email into the new mailbox folder.


The easiest way is to switch to Windows Live Mail (WLM) instead. It supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM will minimize to a tray bar icon and has a separate Inbox for each email account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported from within WLM. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.) To see the Menu bar, press ALT+M and check "Show all menus".

SEE: Windows Live Suite Downloads

Hope this helps,
Shawn
