multiple copies of Outlook

Outlook is its own program. I think you are confusing it with Windows Mail
(formerly Outlook Express). They did remove the identities feature from OE
when it went to WinMail, but that doesn't mean you can't have multiple email
accounts under the single identity.

And if you miss the Identities feature that much, then you can get my WMIDs
program (www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/) that puts it back.

Hi:

I have a single user system using Vista Premium and Outlook.

My previous system used XP with multiple copies of outlook express using
different Email addresses.

I have been told that with Outlook, I can have only one Email address on my
system. Is that true??

I am going to try your fix of putting back the outlook express and we have 7
email accounts for four different business, one group, my husband's, and
mine. With this Windows Mail they all come to one box which is difficult to
sort whose is whose and also not be confronted with business things on the
weekend. The other problem is that they now all go out with my husband's
name on them instead of the seperate businesses.

Please ask Mr. Gates to spend some of his royalties or profits to fix this
problem. Pretty much sounds like people miss that feature that was in
Outlook Express. Some of these changes are so limiting, not to mention all
the extralabor costs because there were too many changes to sort through at
once. I'm seriously considering sending this back along with the upgrades. I
suspect people will seriously hold back on new products, while they work out
the kinks in the future.

This is really rather easy to fix.
Create four new folders under Inbox, say
Business1
Business2
Business3
Business4

Then create Message Rules, such as:

1. Where the message is from the Biz1 account
move it to the Business1 folder
and stop processing more rules.

2. Where the message is from the Biz2 account
move it to the Business2 folder
and stop processing more rules.

3. Where the message is from the Biz3 account
move it to the Business3 folder
and stop processing more rules.

4. Where the message is from the Biz4 account
move it to the Business4 folder
and stop processing more rules.

Any account whose email you don't want to go into the
common Inbox will need a Message Rule.

When you reply to a received email, the reply should
automatically take the 'From' name & address associated
with the account that originally downloaded the message.
