I am thinking yes with todays technology and older email clients doing this, but, when I set up one e-mail, mail comes in to a "Local Folders" "Inbox", so I wonder how I will separate my various accounts. Can I set up each to download into their own set of e-mail account folders rather than everything going to "Local Folders" "Inbox"? If I can set up more than one account, will Windows Mail automatically log into and download all of the email accounts when I open Windows Mail? This is quite difficult to set up when Windows Vista doesn't include help files. Even after I downloaded them, the help files for Windows Mail won't open.
I have created 4 email accounts and emails from all accounts are being deposited into the same inbox. Outlook express allowed me to manage these through identities so that each email account had it's own inbox, drafts, sent, etc. Is this possible with Windows Mail?
I have just gotten a new computer and SBC helped me set up one of my email accounts in Windows but I have another that I need to set up. How do I go about doing this and where do I look to be able to choose which account I want to look at?
I have 2 email addresses and my ISP is att.yahoo.com PoP3 and SMTP one works and one doesn't - says doesn't recognize host name. Under Server - settings - advanced do I use same settings as incoming or log on using different email address and password?
How can I set up two accounts on Windows Mail from the same server but different email addresses. I did this on Outlook using separate identities and would switch between the two, but Windows Mail does not do it this way.
I did try Live Mail but prefer not to have emails divided into seperate email accounts - it makes quick checking more difficult. Is there any way in which this division can be avoided?
I'm new to Vista. How do I set up two completely separate and private email accounts for myself and my wife in Windows Mail? I keep seeing my own mail when I start WM.
After spending many hours, I have at last got Windows Mail working perfectly. I uninstalled my McAfee (that wasn't straightforward), deleted my accounts from Windows Mail - then re-instated them, and installed AVG.
I tried this last night. I have four accounts. After setting up each account and using my ISP information, all email for all four accounts dumped in to the default account. What am I doing wrong please?
How do you create an account with your windows mail? I'm not talking about hotmail or anything like that, I'm talking about the program that comes with your computer, and registering your hotmail account onto that program. I got as far as entering your 'incoming mail server type' and 'outgoing mail server type.
Is there a way to import OE 6 account settings and newsgroup subscriptions from OE 6 on a Windows 2000 system to Windows Mail on a Vista system? Is there a way to import Thunderbird account settings and newsgroup subscriptions from Thunderbird on a Windows 2000 system to Windows Mail on a Vista system?
Okay, here it goes. I first started using Windows Mail when I bought a new computer with Windows Vista back in January '09. I have four email accounts which I transferred over from an Outlook Express backup that I did before getting rid of my old computer. Windows Mail automatically set up a set of folders (Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Drafts and Junk E-mail) for each account, each with a different color scheme, similar to Windows Live Mail. My hard drive crashed in June and I'm just now setting things up again with the new hard drive installed. I tried restoring my email accounts from a backup I had but now Windows Mail won't automatically create folders for each account. Instead, I had to set up separate Inbox folders with message rules for each account. However, all the accounts are still sharing the Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Drafts and Junk E-mail folders. Is there a way to set up a set of these folders for each account using message rules? And also, why did Windows Mail do that automatically for me the first time using it - could it be that the information came from an Outlook Express backup originally?
I have 4 computers, all have Windows XP. I recently replaced the 1st which was my Laptop with a Dell XPS that runs Vista. Since then my email accounts started having problems. I can only receive email on one account. but was able to receive all email accounts one the main Desktop which is wired to the router. Now I have replaced this desktop with a new one it also runs Vista, and now the same thing has happened; I only receive email from one account. I tried deleting all accounts and set them all up again same problem. I have MS Office 2003 which has office outlook and it to does the same thing. I tried deleting accounts on both trying to single out the possibility of conflict, but still no luck.
I'm trying to set up my Windows Mail for multiple email accounts, but it's combining all the messages together. All the messages from all the accounts are going into one main local Inbox in Windows Mail. I want to keep the messages and individual folders for each email account separate. How do I do that?
I have a main email account and multiple aditional accounts through cox. In windows mail all the accounts appear but only the main one recieves any mail. I can send mail from any account just not receive.
Since this morning my Windows mail can send but not receive. I keep getting an error message 0x8004005. If I go to my Yahoo home page and go to mail it receives it there.
I started having an issue sending emails to any .net account yesterday. Here is the error I keep getting. I also can not get the Windows Mail help to open up. I click on it hit OK when the box pops up and nothing else happens.
The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

I set up my Windows Mail to receive email from multiple accounts. I know, and in fact, I like that all email goes into one inbox. That suits me just fine. It works perfectly for me. I have a column set up so that I know which email account the email came from. However, now that I've added Kaspersky Internet Security to my computer, the emails come in properly but the "account" column empties itself of the information and Windows Mail no longer recognizes where the email came from.
For example, if I replied to an email received in one of my Yahoo accounts, the reply would come from the proper yahoo account. What happens now is that no matter which email account received the email, replies will always generate from the default account unless I manually change it.
1. I have a total of three acct, two regular accts and one full admin acct. I have the same email client in each of these accts. If, while in admin acct, I delete the email acct within (via control panel), will the email client be deleted in my other two accts?
2. The is no Appdata in my full admin acct, whereas it does exist in my other two accts. Is it hidden, or is something wrong?
I have 3 email addresses in my account and when I go to Windows Mail all of my email from all 3 email accounts download.Is there any way I can stop this from happening?
The thing about that is that i am using Wi-Fi. So i don't think that i am able to get that info...Is there anything i can do? You can get all of the email account setup information from your emailprovider, usually your ISP (Internet Service Provider). They should have a webpage on their support site for how to setup and email account in Outook Express with full instructions on how to do it. Windows Mail uses the same settings. If you can tell us who your email provider is, someone should be able to post a link to their email account setup instructions webpage for you.
I tried to set my email up on Windows mail using, gmail accounts, gmx and everything you could think. I worked on it for days but nothing ever worked. I'm pretty sure I put in the right POP and all. What else can I do? Does Gmail and gmx and all not work on a mail server on the actual desktop
Ok. I now own Vista and I'm trying to recreate the mail experience I had on my XP pc. My wife and I both have separate email accounts with our ISP and in XP Outlook Express we set up two identities so that our mail was separate.
When we opened up Outlook Express we were able to select which identity we wanted to operate under.
In Vista we log in to the pc using a single account and that's how we want to keep it.
Is it really impossible to have segregated email accounts in Vista?
I've seen hints that Live Mail, which is apparently new, allows this but none of the documentation is very clear.
I have upgraded from Windows Mail to Live Windows Mail and have imported my emails and contacts. The contacts have worked ok but I cannot find any of my imported emails. I have looked in the storage folders and imported folders as well as all other folders but there is no sign of any of my emails.
i also tried to change my default email to windows live, it doesn't work, comes up w/ some weird kind of mail that doesn't send messages (not sure if it's trying to use windows mail even tho it's set to windows live mail, or what). so, i'm trying to set up my windows live account (which is new, just set it up a couple of months ago), through windows mail. tried setting to pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com and when it goes to connect i keep getting this error message:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop3.live.com', Server: 'pop3.live.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
i really want my default e-mail server to be set up to something that works. and i do not want to go back to using my yahoo account.
I have 17 accounts in Windows Mail. When I first start up WM, and go to retrieve mail,. all accounts work fine. But then any subsequent attempt to retrieve mail, and the process ignores the first two accounts. No errors, no message. It's just listed along with the others, but blank in the status column. And no errors reported either. So then if I exit WM and start over, it works fine again... for that first time. And then it's back to the same problem.
I had 2 seperate e-mail accounts when I used Outlook one for myself and one for my wife to move from one to the other I went "file, switch identities". Have now a new PC with Windows mail on Vista and our two mail accounts come into the one account in windows mail. How can i seperate these?
