Outlook question?

[Markskib]

I am new to email programs. I want to create 2 icons on my desktop for 2 separate email accounts mine and my wife's using outlook. I do not wish to view her mail mixed in with mine. Before upgrading to windows 7, we used both outlook and outlook express (primitive I know but got the job done without any real knowledge of either program) but can no longer use express. Can anyone help me with this?

You could both setup separate userid's on a web based email such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, etc... Then both of your email accounts would be completely isolated from each other.

Or, you could simply create 2 user accounts on your computer. When logged in to your account you would only see your email, when she logged into her account she would see only her email, provided you each had your own unique email account.

If you are still using Outlook for one email, you could sub Windows Live Mail 2011 for Outlook Express. Still primitive but it would be nearly identical to what you had previously.

Setup 2 identities in Microsoft Outlook to retrieve the each person mail. When you open Outlook, it will ask which identity you want to use.

This should help you out.
