Setting up
multiple identities
If you have more than one person in your house who uses
the same computer for e-mail, each one can have a
separate mail box in Outlook Express. This means that
each person can have separate messages, contacts, and
personal settings. This is possible by creating multiple
"identities." Once created, you can switch between
identities without having to shut down your computer or
lose your Internet connection.
To add a new identity
1. On the File menu, point to Identities, and then click
Add New Identity.
2. Enter the name of the new user.
3. Enter a password if you want to include one for this
user.
Note: Outlook Express asks you if you want to log on as
the new user. If you answer yes, you will be prompted
for information about your Internet connection. If you
answer no, the current user remains logged on.
To switch to a different identity
4. On the File menu, click Switch Identity.
5. Select the user you want to switch to.
To change the current identity's settings
6. On the File menu, point to Identities, and then click
Manage Identities.
7. Change any of the settings.
To change your identity name or password, click
Properties.
To change the identity that Outlook Express opens on
startup, select an identity from the Start up using list
box.
