JediBaron 0 Posted September 25, 2002 I just noticed today that I can no longer Switch Identities from within Outlook Express (6.00.2800.1106). I can change Identities only by either telling OE to open a different one by default or by making OE ask which profile to open every time. But if I try to switch identity normally while I'm in OE, it just closes and then opens to my default identity. I have 2 WinXP sp1 machines here and they are both exhibiting the same behavior. Is anyone else seeing this as well? Share this post Link to post

gt2000 0 Posted September 26, 2002 I had the same problem but found that if you go into "Manage Identities", and uncheck the "Use this identity when starting a program" box you will be able to access the other identities. It does require a redundent identity selection but at least you can get to them as before. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post
tylau 0 Posted September 26, 2002 It would need to restart OE every time you do this in order to access another identity I dont think this is a bug actaully, rather some form of security integrity. Share this post Link to post

tylau 0 Posted September 27, 2002 HAHA, if they dare to admitt it is a problem of windows SP1, why didnt they admitt it much earlier Have you ever receive some others emails of different identity in OE, I mean pre SP1, yet to happen in SP1 since they admitt something though not on the security side Share this post Link to post
