Don't think of it as removing a feature. Rather, we are reworking
applications so that all identity is tied to your user logon. Your email
files and contact information are stored in a folder that only you have
access to. Other user accounts on the system (with the exception of the
administrator) don't have access to those folders. So you are getting
equivalent protection, just without the unnecessary additional password
prompt.

So is there no way to set password on the email account itself? If I'm
logged in to Vista, I still want to have my email protected.

As alternate solution, is there a way I can load Outlook Express and use
that rather than the Windows Mail?

I can't believe they took away the password feature!

The identities structure has been removed from Windows Mail. Your user
account when you log onto Vista takes the place of the old indentities.
Make
sure you have a good, strong password on your user account.

Outlook Express had this feature so you could not log into a mail
account
if
you set a password on that Identity. I see Windows Mail no longer has
Identities, but do they have a Password feature? (not the password to
get
the POP mail, but a password to open the Mail application).
