Re: Vista mail profiles
wdseelig
Another question about profiles. What if I have multiple e-mail
accounts and would like to decide which one I am going to access when I
start Windows Mail? From what I can tell, when I start up Windows Mail,
the (current) default account will come up. I guess that I could then
reset the default account, turn off Windows Mail, and then restart it?
Or is Windows Mail different from Outlook and is it possible to have
two different profiles open at the same time??
Thanks for you help!

Please excuse the ignorance of my earlier post. I've now figured out
what I need to do, and will post this to help others who are having
similiar issues...
Although identities are no longer availalbe in Windows Vista, it is
possible to incorporate multiple e-mail accounts into one instance of
Windows Mail. When you do this, incoming e-mail messages from ALL of
your accounts will be downloaded when you do a Send/Receive All. All
you need to do to keep the e-mails from your multiple accounts straight
is create a separate folder (File->New->Folder) for each account, and
then create a Rule to route the incoming e-mails to the correct folder.
Here is another nice feature. When you are sending e-mails from a
Windows Mail client with multiple e-mail accounts, you get a nice little
"From" drop-down box so that you can choose which of your e-mail
accounts will be the "sender" of the message. Neato!

He wasn't asking about outlook express or windows mail but Outlook, the
one that comes with Office. I has different profiles that you can switch
to when you run it.
as for the answer to the original question (yah it's an old thread but
it's the first google response to "vista email profiles" still so I
thought I'd put this here)
*CLICK ON \"VIEW 32-BIT CONTROL PANEL ITEMS\", \"MAIL\" IS IN THERE.*
