Hi David; If my wife & I have different accounts / email addresses & we share the same identity, would we then in turn share the same Inbox & all other folders / settings? Meaning all emails for both accounts would come into the same Inbox? Thank you very much for your clarification. Take care. Mike

An account is your email address and you can have as many of them in a single identity as you wish. An identity is for example if you have children or even better you and your spouse and you both wish to use the same computer but not the same email account. Also for this example she likes different settings than you do, for example she likes her contacts to be displayed and you don't. The way around that is to setup an identity for her with the settings she likes. Then there can be some semblance of household harmony because she isn't changing your settings and you aren't changing hers. You like your preview pain turned on and she doesn't ETC. Let me know if I can be more clear on this subject as I am not sure how far to take this scenario. David Ferrin [email protected] I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one up too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara In Arcadia" <[email protected]> To: "Jaws-Users List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 01, 2010 3:42 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Accounts and Identities question Hi David & Rick; Would it be possible if 1 or both of you, or anyone else on the list would please explain the differences between Accounts & Identities? I for 1 and know of many others who really have a hard time understanding the differences. It would be really nice if someone would break them down into basic lamens terms so, at least for me anyway, my ears will stop glazing over when I hear these terms. For example: How does a person have multiple accounts under 1 identity or multiple identities under 1 account. All help / explanations will be greatly appreciated by many. Thanks much. Take care.
