Windows Mail in a total mess

We just bought a new Hewlett Packard Vista. I opened the Windows Mail setup
site and followed instructions. It looked as though I had successfully
transferred our families main email acct. with Comcast. Then, I tried to set
up additional accts. It wouldn't do it. So, I went to TOOLS, ACCTS, and
followed instructions to ADD accts.
What occurred next was a nightmare.....all three email accts. combined
into one. I REMOVED each acct. through the TOOLS site. Problem is, I go to
Windows Mail to re-enter and try again, and the combined email acct. comes
up....open, without any security prompt.
How do I remove this email...it has no email address and no user name?
Then, how do I transfer our existing email accts?
I would greatly appreciate assistance.
Stephanie

Identities no longer exist in Windows Mail. There are four solutions:

1. If you need the extra privacy, use separate Windows user logins.

2. Purchase an add-on: http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs

3. You can separate incoming mail with message rules so that mail gets
sorted into different folders.

4. You can upgrade to the free Windows Live Mail beta, which has a separate
inbox for each account:
