Hi, Earle.

Thanks for catching my goof. The second one, obviously, should be:

Sorry 'bout that. :^{

That might indicate an underlying problem in the system that has nothing to
do with the OS. Some of your software is simply incompatible with Vista but
if you have recurring issues regardless of OS there might be hardware
problems or other software incompatibilities that you are inadvertently
re-installing.

I don't use Outlook myself but according to the site below Outlook 2002 and
some other versions are not supported in Vista. They suggest a workaround
for your password problem, otherwise an upgrade or switch to a different
mail reader is in order. If you want to use the free Hotmail offline you'll
need Windows Live Mail.

There's no option foe a password for Windows Mail.
Security is provided by your Vista login password.
If others use your computer, create their own login accounts, so they can't
access your info.
 
Support for multiple email identities was dropped along with Outlook Express
in Vista. The closest you can get to it right now is to use fast user
switching in Vista and log in as a different user. The current user doesn't
have to log out or close any apps and you can switch back to them when the
email session is over.. but it isn't nearly as convenient as the Outlook or
OE email Identities. I don't know offhand if any apps or devices are prone
to be problematic when you use fast user switching.

Windows Live Mail is similar to Windows Mail except that it is able to
access Hotmail and each email account in Windows Live Mail can have its own
storage folders.
There might be a 3rd party email program out there that supports multiple
Identities .. Pegasus (freeware) mail seems to fit the bill but I don't know
if it is Vista compatible and it is a bit less user friendly than Outlook.
Thunderbird (also free) uses the term Identities but for a totally different
practice so it wouldn't be of any use.
