Launching a new session will allow you to log in to more than one email account
Q I have a Windows 7 PC with Internet Explorer 9. I would like to have more than one Hotmail account open at the same time.
However, when I try to log in to a second Hotmail account in a separate tab, I find that it opens to display the inbox of the first account. Is there any way around this problem?

A Because of the way Hotmail uses cookies, opening a second Internet Explorer tab to view a second instance of the webmail service displays the inbox of the first logged-in user account.
However, you can get around this by launching a new Internet Explorer ‘session’, as this isolates the processes that create this problem.
It does mean having more than one Internet Explorer window open – one for each Hotmail account – but it will allow you to log in and view multiple inboxes. It’s easy to do: tap the Alt key to make the menu bar appear then open the File menu and choose New Session.
