How do I set up two e-mail accounts? They are both business accounts and
outgoing e-mail must show which individual the mail is being sent from? With
Outlook Express I was able to switch identities, with Windows Mail I can't do
that. Someone suggested that I might need a second computer for the second
account and that sounds totally unreasonable. Help!

You can add more than one account in WM, however, all incoming mail goes
into one Inbox.
When you send an email, you can select which account, by clicking on the
From: field.
 
To expand on what Julian suggested, Windows Live Mail automatically
creates separate Inbox and Sent Items folders for each mail account.
It doesn't solve the problem of having to watch out when you create
a new message, because the program has no way of knowing which
account you want to send from. You may have to click on the 'From'
field and change the account.

Also, you can have incoming mail automatically sorted into
separate inboxes by the use of message rules.

Windows Live Mail could only be used for one account.

Only one account will be the default.
As Gary commented, you will have to click From to send from the non default
account.

: What do you mean? WLM can handle several different email accounts.
