Windows Live Mail identities

just got windows 7 and am using Live Mail. Before this I used WinXP and
Outlook Express. I maintained several identities in OE to separate emails
and addresses for each identity. I have established different Users in Win
7 to accomplish the same thing. But I use 4 different identities and this
makes for quite a bit or extra work.

I have now used my primary User Live Mail to enter the 4 different email
addresses and this works fine for the messages I receive. They end up in
the correct Inbox for that specific address. So no problem on using one
User for the 4 email accounts as far as for messages.

Is there any way to separate the Contacts in a similar manner? I was hoping
that if I highlighted a specific email address and then clicked on Contacts
it would only show Contacts entered for that email address. But....I
haven't found a way to accomplish that. Right now it seems I would have to
load all of the Contact info for all 4 email accounts. Then I could
establish a different Category for each identities Contacts and copy the
pertinent addresses to each Category folder.

But that's a lot of work. Any easier ideas?

Hi
Suggest Re-Post,
microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

That's the only way, unless you want to setup and use separate PC logon
accounts. WLM doesn't use identities so all contacts are in one long list.
