Switching identities in Outlook Express

S

Susan

I have a new computer and am trying to use my two email
addresses separately, as I did on my old computer. Both
are listed in Accounts under Tools, but when I try to
switch from the first identity to the second, it acts
like it is going to switch, but it doesn't! And all of my
incoming email to both addresses comes to the first
address. I use Earthlink (mindspring) and have talked to
their tech people but they couldn't help. I hope someone
can!
Thank you!

Ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup.

Hi, Susan -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:
