Moving from XP and Outlook Express to Windows 7 and Live Mail.
OE had the capability to run multiple identities so I could open the program and go directly to my emails, while someone else could do the same under their identity.
I must be overlooking something in Live Mail. How do I set up multiple identities in it?

Go to Accounts, click the Email button, then add the email address and password. Each account will be listed in the left-most pane and you simply click on the identity that you want to access.

I think he means more like the outlook profiles where you can have separate email profiles where they are not all in one.

But unfortunatley they removed that option in starting in windows mail on vista and the above is the only way to do it.

Yeah, multiple ID's definitely not an option in WLM. Instead, I had to create a separate User Account and then install WLM with that account. It works. Not a big deal.
Thanks for the replies.
