Click on File>Switch Identities, then press the manage identities button and
follow the prompts to create a separate identity for your new email. I
currently have 6 identities set up, for business, personal, etc. even including
my throwaway hotmail account. In case you're wondering I just got a "real" ISP
and am in the transition process from AOL. You can even have different
Newsgroups for each identity(to hide the porn<G>).

HTH,
John
