Technical Information:

When a new identity is created, a new entry is created in the Windows registry. A new folder is created on your hard drive for that identity's message area. The identity information is stored in the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\account_ID where "account_ID" is the full path to the folder where the message area is located. The message area should be stored at: Windows\Application Data\Identities\account_ID folder.

NOTE: If you have setup USER PROFILES, the location of the message area will be in the Windows\Profiles\user_name\Application Data\Identities\account_ID folder, where user_name is the name you use to login to Windows, and account_ID is the full path to the folder where the message area is.


To Switch Identities.

  1. Open Outlook Express and click on the FILE menu.
  2. Point to Switch Identity.
  3. Click the identity that you want to switch to.
  4. If you set a password for the identity, type the password in the Password box.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Outlook Express automatically quits and restarts with the identity you selected.

 



Technical Information:

When you switch identities while you are sending and receiving messages, Outlook Express may quit unexpectedly. For more information, please see the Microsoft Website at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/209169.
