NO, NO, NO and NO! Many of us use multiple identities and this will be a major pain in the neck!
I use four separate identities and switch among them multiple times a day. One each for two newsletters I do, one related to an organization I volunteer for, and my personal one. If I¹ll have to hunt to figure out which account I am in at any given time in Office 2008, I may just stick with the 2004 version as long as I can. My husband uses two identities: One for e-mail from his students, one for personal stuff. My two daughters each use 2-3 identities, for different purposes. My sister-in-law uses one identity for school/student related messages, one for job search, one for personal. That¹s three. My father uses two identities: one for business-related, one for personal. NONE of us use a single identity only, and part of the reason I have strongly preferred Entourage over Mail is the ease of switching between accounts, and knowing where I am, which it appears ³you² have just mucked up bigtime. I am sure we are not the only multiple-account folks out there, and I¹d like to see this fixed, pronto!
