mail Client With Multipe Identities ?

Hi,

Apart from Outlook Express are there any email applications that allow you to set up and switch between multiple identities ? Windows Mail in Vista does not allow this and neither does Outlook to the best of my knowledge.

Re: mail Client With Multipe Identities ?

Mozilla Thunderbird: from the same people that bring us Firefox, claims to be able to access multiple SMTP servers or even the same server with different user name and password: Multiple SMTP servers (Thunderbird - MozillaZine Knowledge Base)

Re: mail Client With Multipe Identities ?

Reading through the Thunderbird spec it is not clear if the email accounts are stored in switchable identities as is the case with Outlook Express.

The email accounts can be stored in different folders in Thunderbird but I think that the folders are part of the same main screen.

Any Thunderbird users out ther who use it for multiple email accounts ?

Thx & Rgds

Re: mail Client With Multipe Identities ?

Thunderbird can store several SMTP accounts and when you reply to an email it will be sent through the account you recieved the original email.

IE:

Email from Johnny recieved on account 1, reply sent back on account 1, using account 1's reply address.
Email from Mary recieved on account 2 reply sent back on account 2, using account 2's reply address.

But you can also send emails using any of the accounts you have setup, so you could reply to an email recieved on account 1 and have the reply go out on account 2.

Each account has seperate details, like smtp server, pop server, username & password and reply address.

It will also setup seperate locations on your PC for each account, so you will get a seperate inbox, outbox etc... for each account.

I personally have seven seperate accounts running in thunderbird. And using a little program called birdiesync can use thunderbird to sync with my windows mobile phone.

Re: mail Client With Multipe Identities ?

doesnt outlook do what you say Thunderbird does ?

i have 4 accounts that i pickup e-mail from all on different servers (infact all with different isp's)

there is a problem though most isp's wont let you send and e-mail that has to go through another isp.
for example if you are with btinternt and collect e-mail from talktalk tiscali and pipex which is not a problem, bt will not let you route a reply throught them and then from talktalk.

if the op is talking about 5 e-mail addresses all on btinternet then you can collect and reply to each individual email on the account it came in on via outlook...

Re: mail Client With Multipe Identities ?

I am referring to the functionality in Outlook Express where you can set up multiple identities, each one totally contained in its own "shell" based on the store folder assigned to manage it.

When switching identities all aspects of the live identity are specific to that identity, ie, there is no availability of any other email accounts in the identity, it is totally unique to that email account. Switching to another identity closes everything in the old identity and opens up a new set of email folders again with no remnant of any other email account folders accessible or visible.

Outlook will accept multiple email accounts but they are all in the same pot on the screen.

Re: mail Client With Multipe Identities ?

yes you are right the important thing is identies and accounts, its a long time since i used outlook express.

you can of course run rulz in outlook that will move an e-mail before they are read to folders of your choice, so they can be sorted effectivly before you see them. (for instance all email from DW in my case get moved to forums\digitalworld) you can set this up using many different critera.(sorry if you already know this, and i am teaching grandmother to suck eggs)...... :-)

Re: mail Client With Multipe Identities ?

hatab,

No, I was not aware of the auto location of incoming emails in Outlook. I use Outlook at work but have not really looked into the configuration options. I have an Office 2003 disk so might install it on my personal PC to have a look around.

The thing I like about Outlook Express and the identity feature is the "completeness & isolation" of each identity, there is no mingling of emails from accounts when it is set up correctly.

I am considering switching back to XP Pro as O/S with a bricopack installed to give me the Vista appearances but with the XP engine under the bonnet. That would get me Outlook Express back and also get me out of Vista (cannot stand it).

Re: mail Client With Multipe Identities ?

in outlook have a look at

tools\rules and alerts

it is quite straight forward to setup a rule, there are lots of options but the wizzard points you in the right direction, not sure exactly how many rules you can have but i have 20+ and they all seem to work.

if you go this route you can save you rules it is an option worth doing if you end up with a few saves re-doing them all if you have to re-load.

if this suits your need when you have had a look, give me a shout if you do have any problems and if i can i will help ( i use office2003 )

Re: mail Client With Multipe Identities ?

Thunderbirds accounts are completely seperate, there is no mingling of mail unless you specifically set it up to do it that way. Each mail account hase it's own seperate folders.

I also find the rules (or filters) for incoming mail better than those of Outlook.

I have no problems sending mails using several different ISP's with Thunderbird.
