Outlook support for OE Identities

[MikeW]

Migration from OE to Outlook took the information from only the
"current" identity.

Does "O" support something like OE's Identities?

Although I do have multiple "Users" set up on my XP machines, I have
found that "Identities" is a very good organizing feature of OE within a
single "XP user". It keeps mail (and news) segregated by logical roles
(e.g., Personal, Business1, Business 2, etc.). Especially when each role
may have more than one email account.

How would one do this under O? I wouldn't want to "switch users" for
this since that would be far to encompassing of a context switch.

Thanks in advance for any help.

What version of Outlook? Outlook does not use Identities, it uses profiles,
but the use varies by version.

Sorry, Millie, I should have included more info in my post... I'm
currently using OE6 and was installing Office S&T 2003.
At the moment, I've had to System Restore Office back out of my system
until I can get a cure for the Java runtime problem that installing office
seems to cause on my system. See my post of 11:34AM 1/6/2004, if you have
any ideas which might help.

TIA
Mike~~
