SUMMARY
By default, Windows Messaging starts with only the profile you select using
the Control Panel Mail utility. It is possible, however, to enable Windows
Messaging to prompt you for a different profile to use on startup. This is
configured not with the Control Panel Mail utility, but in the Options
dialog box in Windows Messaging itself.
MORE INFORMATION
You can create Windows Messaging profiles with the Control Panel Mail
utility (the Mail icon found in Control Panel when the Windows Messaging
component is installed). This tool allows you to pick one of the
created profiles at a time to use with Windows Messaging. To do this,
perform the following steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click the Mail icon.
- Click Show Profiles.
- Select the profile to use from the list "When starting Windows
Messaging, use this profile".
- Click Apply, and then click Close.
There is no option in the Control Panel Mail utility to have Windows
Messaging prompt you at start up for which profile to use; however, you can
configure such an option by performing the following steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
- Double-click the Mail icon and click Options from the Tools menu of
Windows Messaging.
- On the General properties page, click the "Prompt for a profile to be
used" option in the frame entitled "When starting Windows Messaging".
- Click the Apply, and then click Close.
With this feature enabled, you receive a "Choose Profile" prompt when
starting Windows Messaging, allowing you to choose which profile to use for
the current Windows Messaging session. Notice also that you have the option
in this prompt to create new profiles, as well as other profile options.
