Using Windows Mail like Outlook Express better. Problem looking for a
solution to: ie; Have two names in the account. Having difficult seperating
them. Also unable to
limit downloads of email for one account only.
Thanks for your consideration.

Personally, I like all my email accounts to go into a general inbox. If you
would prefer each account separate I would recommend Windows Live Mail as
this is the way it sets up accounts by default, then there is an all
accounts view. To limit the downloads to specific accounts you can go to the
settings of the account and modify the properties to check or uncheck the
box include this account when sending or receiving.

You can have up to 32 email accounts in Windows Mail.
However, Windows Mail does not have identities like Outlook Express did.
By default, all email from all accounts goes into the same Inbox.
There are four different ways of changing that:

1. Use separate Windows user logins. That gives total privacy, and is
ideal when two different people use the same computer.

2. Use message rules to filter incoming messages into
separate mail folders.

3. Upgrade to Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each
account, no rules needed: http://download.live.com/wlmail

4. Purchase an add-on called WMIDs:
