TIPS FOR USING TWO EMAIL ACCOUNTS

1. Once you have gone through the steps above you have two email addresses setup. Both email accounts are completely seperate. This includes email, address books, etc.
2. When you exit the email program, do not click the X in the top right hand corner - instead, always click on "File" then "Identities" and click on "logoff".
3. Each time when you go into your email program you will be presented with an "Identity login" screen. From here all you do is select your email account and click OK. (Provided that you close the program correctly each time as explained in step 2 above.)
4. If for some reason you don't get the "Identity login" screen when you open your email program, don't panic! This just means that the person who used it last didn't close it properly. To switch to your email account, simply click on "File" and click "Switch identity". From there you can select your email account like as you would normally.
5. You can password protect your email so that no one can view or use your email. To do so, follow the steps below.

1. Click on "File" then highlight "Identities" and click on "Manage Identities".
2. On the next screen select the identity you want to password protect and click on "Properties".
3. On this screen, check the box next to "Require a password".
4. On the next screen type in a password and type it in again to confirm it. Then click OK. (Note: This can be the same password you use to send and receive mail or it can be different. This password will only be used to get into your mail. If you forget this password it is unrecoverable so make sure you remember it.)
