Outlook Express

Hello,

I cannot switch identities in Outlook Express. Is this a
password issue? I can get on the Main Identity but
cannot switch to any others.

Thanks

Q330994/April-03 Cumulative Patch for Outlook Express (which you you prolly
have installed) contains a bug causing the problem you and many others are
having. Until this bug is addressed by the OE Team, we're advised to always
leave an Identity via File>Exit and Logoff Identity and not use File>Switch
Identities.

Others have found the Force Identity Logon, which essentially does the same
thing, works for them: http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/tips/forceid.htm.

If one of your Identities is the default 'Main Identity', which is much more
prone to such problems, you could try replacing it with a new Named Identity
(File>Identities>Add new identity) in hopes of finding more reliability.
Import messages from the old Identity before deleting it
(File>Identities>Manage Identities).
