I made a second account and teh tried to access mail by first going o
identities. It soesn't recognize the second account.
 
Windows Mail doesn't support Identities. Mail from all account will go into
the common Inbox unless you set up Message Rules and separate folders.

And let me tell you .... this is a royal pain in the you know what... the
message rules work like crap... and the signatures that you setup for each
account don't work automatically, you have to manually insert them. This
was a ridiculous change in my opinion!
 
Any rule that moves or deletes a message needs to also have the action
"Stop processing more rules" which only stops it for that message.
 
Ok, sounds great... I'll try this, I missed this when I setup the rules.

I do have one other question... There is a rule that reads "Where the
message is from a specified account"
Since I have 3 email accounts in Windows Mail now, I wanted to separate the
Sent mail into different folders instead of it all going to one folder. So
I created a filter using this rule because it says "from a specified
account".. What I found is the new mail for these accounts were being put
in the SENT folder that I used in the rule.

Shouldn't this rule read "Where the message is to a specified account"
because it was sorting my incoming mail and not my sent mail...

Thank you
Christine
 
OE cannot automatically sort messages you send out. They will go to Sent
Items. You can make rule like:

Where From contains '(e-mail address removed)'
Move it to Bellsouth folder

and apply the rues manually to Sent Items, but it will also move messges
sent to newsgroups from that account.
 
OK, it's been a month now and I hate the fact that there are no identities!!

I'm constantly sending emails from the wrong email address
Posting personal emails in newsgroups
Adding the wrong signature thinking I'm in another email address...

THIS SUCKS!!!!
another stupid move by a software manufacturer
 
It's unlikely that MS will make many changes to Windows Mail, now that
Windows Live Mail is out in beta...

If you want to add the identities feature back onto Windows Mail, you can
try http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/ a program written by Steve Cochran, who
posts
here.

If you can't discipline yourself to check the 'From' line before
hitting Send, shell out the 15 bucks and get WMIDs:

No idiot proof system is a match for Christine.

Also the daft old bint regards advice
as infringing her freedom of speech
so expect some abuse.
 
Hey buddy, you started this with your links on to how to post to a
newsgroup... I've not had an ill word for you until now. You act as if
I've personally insulted you with my remarks about software companies.
Believe me I work for one and I know all about changing code for unknown
reasons... You need to get a life and stop abusing people in the
newsgroups. Don't speak about me as if you know me because you don't .
Just crawl back under your rock.

Thank you Dave and Gary for your responses...

Yes, dear.
 
I have not been able to receive any messages for my additional identities. I
have tried to follow all the instructions for setting up additional
identities (including message rules) but cannot receive any e-mail for them.
My main identity comes through fine. What am I doing wrong?--

Windows Mail does not support identities. We need more information.
