Importing Identities

I had 4 email accounts when I ran WinXP, 2 normal accounts through my ISP and
2 hotmail accounts. When I try to import identities so I can get them back
and running it says that 'All identities have already been imported'

I can import my mail ok, but only on one account. Can anyone help ?

Identities do not exist in Windows Mail, they were removed. All email will
be imported but into the "Imported Folders" and ech Identitiy folder
location will have to be selected. It basically sucks over all. Too many
work arounds and hoops to jump thru.


But something is coming soon that will bring it back.....

Kevin:
I got the same message, "all identities have been imported." I spent almost
2 hours in on-line chat with Dell help desk until he gave up and said
identities were lost.
My e-mails, however, did successfully import to my new Visa Mail. I ended
up clicking on every message I'd received then clicked "Tools" and "Add
sender to contact list".
Hope this helps

What is coming and when. I'm about to go our and spend $100+ on OE2007.

OE2007? Did you mean Office 2007?
Careful, some of the cheaper versions of Office no longer include
Outlook.

As far as what is coming soon, I understand one of the regular
contributors here is developing an add-on for Windows Mail that will
simulate OE Identities.

Not my call to make, just know it's very soon and I would imagine a lot
cheaper.

If you search you should be able to find the dbx files that match the
various Identities (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4) and then you can
import, choosing to import from a directory instead of from an Identity, and
then point to that directory (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#oe2wm)

Thanks, Steve.

So , can I set this up so that when each user logs in, they can open WMail
and it will not ask for user name and password?
