I have been using vista for years but just now am finding it necessary to make a second use profile.
Im using vista x64 and even after I have made the new account and can see it under "user accounts" in control panel it wont show up on the screen when I press "switch user" or "Log off"
How do i get the second account to show up?
EDIT: I just deleted and recreated the account and its fine now.
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?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedOkay, 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?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn Outlook Express, I was able to have different inboxes under different folders for multiple email accounts. For example, I want my yahoo.com emails and sbcglobal.net emails placed into different inboxes. I can't find any options under Tools/Accounts to specify this, and when I create a new folder, my only choice of where to place the new folder is under Local Folder.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI restarted my computer yesterday and when it came back on only guest account was available. My user account and my sons account were gone. I tried starting in safe mode and got "windows could not connect to the sens service. contact admin". I tried restoring my system to two different points 10/17 and 10/19 and neither worked. So now I am on my computer as a guest. I go to C: users and can see my username and my sons but can't open them b/c I am not an admin.
View 8 Replies View RelatedBefore Outlook 2007 (OL2007) & Windows Live Mail (WLM), OL & OLE worked well together for me when I wanted to look at NG posts. OL would use OLE as the NG reader. Then I could respond and out it went through OL. I could choose the NG reader from a pull down or a button. I have NGs I want to view when I'm in OL2007 but I can't add any NG accounts to OL2007-I can't seem to do the same thing as before. I will get email from the NG I frequent in OL2007 and I can't see the series-conversation in the NG without using WLM. I have to use WLM for NG viewing not sending responses.
Unfortunately, both have to be run in tandem with IE and I really don't want to use two email programs and IE. You see I can't send a response from WLM as it is denied by OL2007 and trying to send it through OL2007 doesn't work because it doesn't recognize the NG name as an address (microsoft.public.outlook.installation). Just to send this, I had to go through IE Google Groups to send my questions. Figuring out whether this is an OL2007 issue or WLM issue is not my fort=E9 so I'm sorry for the cross post. Any ideas if it is possible or as to how to fix this? I'd hate to have to disable both programs and find a third party solution. All these weird MS changes makes me want to by a MAC.
I added a new user profile for my son last week. Yesterday, when I tried going back and making his ID an administrator, I could no longer see the ID in the manage accounts box. I can only see the ID in parental controls. Also, I cannot create a new ID and when I try to enable User Account Control (UAC), it doesn't remain on. I tried to do a system restore to a point created last week but that didn't work. Has anyone encountered this issue? Could this be a Vista bug? I have Vista Home Premium.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've Just created a new, second email account, using a different email address with the same username and password my isp gave me when I set up my first one. The problem is how can I see the new accounts emails? I've sent emails to the new account but when I try to access them using "Windows Mail" (I'm running Vista) I get nothing? If I send an email from my first account to my first account it comes through ok!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the account function where you supposedly can set up your home account and then your work account in Windows Mail. Having done away with identities, you have to use tools->accounts to set them up. I have two accounts set up, one is me, the other is support, but I can't seem to find out how to switch between them. When I set them to be the default account, each in its turn it merged all the messages in my inbox view.

View 5 Replies View RelatedRestarting a PC (DELL Inspiron 530 running Vista Home Premium) after check-disk run on start-up starts Windows to the 'Welcome' screen. However, logging into any of the user accounts initially produces the next 'Welcome' screen and the little 'wait' circle but then it goes black and only the white cursor is displayed, nothing else happens. In safe mode, the user account loads normally.
Prehistory: The PC had started to do odd things a while ago: take very very long to shut down, more or less freeze on some of the limited user accounts (the boys'), not shut down at all, and similar. Today, as a further attempt to right things, I ran the MS Disk Cleanup (normally I use CCleaner) and Check Disk option on start-up. That reported quite a lot of problems and fixes and took a long time.
When creating new user accounts, does each account need to have its own security software?, ie. anti-virus, anti-this and that? or does the security from the Admin account take care of all other accounts as well?.
