Can you move mail from Identity to Identity?

I have 4 Identities set up in OE6 and 2 E-mail accounts, so someone's mail
is always getting downloaded into someone else's inbox. I can "save as" to a
folder, switch identity, open the saved mail, and "move to" the inbox to
solve the problem, but I am curious if there is a better/easier/faster way.
TIA

Diverting it to the correct place to start with would be a big help?

Use Message Rules to filter your mail where the two addresses are
aliases
for the same mailbox.

E.g., and are aliases for one mailbox. In the
Identity associated with , create a Message Rule stating,
"Where
To contains , Do not download it from the server and Stop
processing more rules" (The last phrase is important!) and place this
rule
at the very top of the list.

Then create a similar rule for the Identity associated with
directing any messages addressed to to not be downloaded from
the
server.

Hi. Thanks for the tip, but I don't think I explained the problem well.
We have 2 mail accounts: and . The two addresses
are set up as separate Accounts in OE. Now, my mail comes to in
my identity just fine and does not get downloaded in the family's identities
and theirs does not get downloaded into mine. But my wife and my daughter
both get their mail at . So my daughter's mail is sometimes
in my wife's inbox, and my wife's mail is sometimes in my daughter's inbox.
I don't want to get my young daughter her own address just yet. So we're
moving the mail around.
Any ideas?
Thanks again.

While in one identity drag the message to a Windows folder.
Open the other identity and drag the message from the Windows folder into an
OE folder.

Hi BP,

I've thought of a scheme that might work in this situation (using Windows
XP). It is not automatic, and a bit cumbersome, but perhaps better than
you've been working with. It involves using a shared folder. The shared
folder could be accessed through My Computer or by using a shortcut to the
folder -- perhaps on the Start menu.

Move Mail (this would be the shared folder)
ID 1 (child folder)
ID 2 " "
ID 3 " "
ID 4 " "

The shared folder would be opened, and then a message would be dragged to
the folder. Other users could open the shared folder and drag messages into
Outlook Express. Less than ideal is a copy of the message is left behind.

Drag and Drop Review
(dragging to shared folder)

Click and hold on message
Drag to and hover over shared folder button in the taskbar
When folder comes to the top drag into folder and drop

(dragging to OE)

Open appropriate folder
Click and hold on message
Drag to OE toolbar button
When OE window comes to top drop message in appropriate OE folder

That does work (a little) better. Thanks to you both.
