having been forced to buy Vista with Windows mail, I am no longer able to
download all the messages that are sent to my email accounts. I used to have
several identities and Outlook Express dealt with ALL of those. Now I am
forced to have two accounts (myself+wife) and I can find no way of
downloading ALL messages from the mail server that are sent to our 'old'
identities. Therefoer, a dal of messages are building up on our mail server
and I have to log on toour web mail account to see what is there.
Q: How do I set about downloading all non-account specific emails from the
web server. Note that they are NOT junk.
Not impressed by Vista I'm afraid to say

You can have more than one account in the same Windows Mail. All the mail will to to the same Inbox.

Five possibilities for separating them:

1. Use different Windows Users

2. Make new folders and make a message rule like this:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the message is from the mail.fjsmjs.com account
Move it to the fjsmjs folder
and Stop processing more rules

3. Use Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each account:

4. Buy WMIDs http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/Default.aspx

5. Enable the Account column in the Inbox.
