I am also having problems. In Outlook Express I managed 3 separate
Identities, and each had aseparate address book and separate folders. I
would have to switch identities from one to the other to check email,
respond, manage contacts, etc. Is this still possible in the new Windows
Mail? I moved my accounts and address book, but all of the former identities
now show under one screen? If anyone can help or explain what can be done I
would greatly appreciate it.

As you have discovered, WM does not support Identities and dumps all email
into one Inbox.
If you want to add the Identities feature, this program is available...

Windows Mail does not support the Identities feature.
In addition to the non-free solution

you can simply upgrade your Windows Mail to Windows
Live Mail (WLM). WLM automatically creates separate
folders for each mail account.

I ran into this too. Apparently, you now have to set up actual accounts on
your computer for each identity. In other words, if you had three members
of the family sharing the same account on the computer, you could just
switch from one identity to the other. Now, each family member needs to set
up their own account on the computer as they log on. This was really
required before, but it is now. It's not too hard to do, and once you set
up one identity, the others are just the same. Now we have all our
"identities" re-established, but I had to set up an account for each
identity. This also allows each person (or identity) to have their setup
for Explorer, etc.
Now if I can just figure out how to copy my old e-mails over to the new
system.
