Recently subscribed to DSL and Windows Mail through Bell South. I can access
my account but Windows will not let me switch identities to allow my husband
to access his. Can anyone help? A screen pops up when we attempt but the
message states that Windows no longer allows additional identities and how it
suggests individual user accounts. Is this a security issue with permissions
and the administrator/ parent of computer? Does anyone know how to adjust
that? I am barely a novice and can use any advice, tips, or instructions
that will help in fixing this aggravating problem!
 
Its just like the popup says, Identities no longer exist in Windows Mail.
There are four solutions:

1. If you need the extra privacy, use separate Windows user logins (as the
popup suggests).

2. Purchase an add-on: http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs

3. You can separate incoming mail with message rules so that mail gets
sorted into different folders.

4. You can upgrade to the free Windows Live Mail beta, which has a separate
inbox for each account:
