From today's Langa letter there is a reference to switching identities in Outlook Express. I though this might be of interest to some OE users. More Info On XP SP1 In "XP SP1: Proceed With Caution" ( langa.com ) I said that the Service Pack for XP should work fine for most people. I also mentioned how there were several very specific problem areas, including "some issues with Outlook Express." One of those issues became clearer in the last week: It's OE's "multiple identity" feature: After installing SP1, you can click "switch identities" on the file menu, but nothing will happen: The main identity will always open. Until Microsoft releases a fix, the workaround is to start Outlook Express and click to File/Identities/Manage Identities. Uncheck the "Use this identity when starting..." option, and then click Close. Now, each time you start OE you'll be nagged (twice) to "select an identity." But at least you can switch between and among your identities, at the cost of having to shut down and relaunch OE for each switch. There's lots more info on this online: google.com Of course, if you don't use OE, or don't use multiple identities in OE (I don't), this is a non-issue. But if you do, it's a hassle.
