Why would you want to import them when Windows Mail doesn't
do much with identities except import them and then ignore them?

Windows Mail allows you to have more than one email account
for the same Vista user, but puts the incoming mail for all of them
into the same set of Local Folders.

and how do you do that? i am VERY new to this vista and window mails thanks

First, get the instructions for setting up an email account from whichever
email provider you are trying to add. Instructions for adding an account
to Outlook Express usually also work under Windows Mail if they don't
call for the HTTP protocol, which Windows Mail cannot handle. The
instructions usually begin with starting Windows Mail, clicking on Tools,
then Accounts, then Add. The details after that depend on which email
provider you are trying to connect to. For typical instructions, see:
