How do I change from one mail account to another in Vista? Under Outlook
Express, I would simply "log off identity" and log on to another. Now that
Mail has done away with identities, How do I change from one to another?
 
There are no Identities in Windows Mail.
You can access multiple email accounts, but all messages come into the same
Inbox.
You can create message rules to move the messages into different folders.
To change the account, when composing a message, click on the From: box to
select which account to send from.

Or you could purchase a program written by Dr. Cochran, which adds the
identities feature into Windows Mail

Or you could try the newer Windows Live Mail, which doesn't have Identities,
but it does keep separate Inbox, draft, sent, etc. for each account.

Click to expand...

Right click in the From field in the composition window.
OR, change the default in Tools | Accounts.
