switching identities

L

Larry

I am running explorer 6.0. I just installed xp home
edition. In outlook exoress evertime I try to switch
identies between email accounts it sends me back to the
identy that I have selected to start the program. It
won't let me switch identities unless I deselect the
startup identity. Any ideas?

Have you tried downloading the latest update for outlook
express 6? I have had this problem before and updating
fixed it. Visit windowsupdate.com to get the update

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000 & 2002 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress
for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ublic.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
for OE 6.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...;newsgroupsmicrosoft.public.internet.mail.mac
for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ess.mac&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups

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). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

I don't know what you mean by "deselect the startup identity". In
Outlook Express, I switch identities by
File > Switch Identities > select an identity other than the one
currently selected > OK

In any case, you're in the wrong newsgroup. The programs Outlook and
Outlook Express have similar names and they both do email, but they are
not the same. It's a source of endless confusion. Outlook is part of MS
Office and has some extra features, like a calendar and the option to
use Word (another Office component) as an email editor. Generally you
have to pay for Outlook. Outlook Express does email and newsgroups, and
it's free.
(Incidentally, you can switch identities in OE but not in Outlook. You
can switch profiles in Windows.ah, nevermind.)


Outlook Express (OE) newsgroup:

Fortunately for your question, there are many more people who understand
OE than Outlook.
