I'm as frustrated as everyone else. I can't continue my business without
being able to switch between identities. When a fix is offered, where can I
find it? I have no need for security issues, as I'm the only user, but I need
to use both home email and business email and keep these separate and easy to
receive.

No fix will be offered, they are gone from Windows Mail as far as Microsoft
is concerned.


However.........from a secret testing lab in the mountains, I've seen
something that will do it for Windows Mail.
 
There is no reason why you can't keep business and home email
separate even without identities. All it takes is two simple
message filter rules:

1. Where the message is from the Business account
move it to the Business folder
and stop processing more rules.

2. Where the message is from the Home account
move it to the Home folder
and stop processing more rules.

This isn't rocket science. ;-)

I should have a replacement for the Identities feature available in the next
few days. I'm still testing it, but it seems to be working well.

Did Delta tell you, or did you hear it from Duke? I think Delta told Duke.

Message rules are fine, and no, it doesn't take rocket science.
However!!!!

If I'm not mistaken, when sending mail you have to remember to change the
account you want to send the mail from.
Example:
I want to send a message regarding work. And I want to use my work email
address.
I have to switch from my personal email address to the work email address in
the top where it states what account is being used.
Otherwise they would get email from my personal email address, that I do NOT
want passed out.
And....if by accident I forgot to change it...well, that COULD be a disaster
in waiting.

I agree that MS took a step backwards. They put it in...now they're taking
it back out???

Yuck!

it was daylight....
When he gets up to eat that will consist of the excercise for the day then
he'll probably still want to go out in the rain....
 
No, he decided to excrete on the carpet instead. Given my enhanced
olfactory sensitivity, I immediately rectified the issue. A 20 lb'er can
put out quite a lot of stink.

Well, that's a bit more than I needed to hear....<G>
 
Windows Mail (and OE before it) remembers which account
was used to receive a particular message, and when do a Reply
or Forward, the From address is automatically populated with
the name and email address associated with that account.

The only time it gets a little tricky is when you originate a
*new* message. You have to remember to check what's on
the From line (default account is used), and if it's not the
correct one, click the From line so you can select another
account 'identity.'
