I have an NT 4.0 Workstation and Outlook Express 5.5. It does NOT have the SWITCH IDENTITIES choice under FILE like it's supposed to. The NT 4.0 is from my company, and the Express I just downloaded. I think there must be something in my registryblocking this. The cable company says they have NT and Express 5.0 and it works. The 5.5 has the HELP options for Identity switching, but the option is NOT under FILE. There is a Grayed Out Exit and Log Off Identity, but that's not what I want anyway. I am DESPARATE! Thanks so much.

Hi !

If i am not wrong then you want to Switch between more that one user and Use the Outlook Express for more that User.

If it is then Just Configure your mail Account by Tools-->Accounts-->Mail, and add as many profiles you want.
But for each give the option not to remember the password.
In this way, Multiple users can use the same Outlook Express.

But if Multiple Users are there then it is better to Use Microsoft Outlook 98 or 2000 since it has more security.

If i have got theQuestion wrong then Please Clarify your Question.

Best of Luck

Unfortunately, the problem was a strange one.. It was something done with some special IE5 admin kit by my company.. At least that's what it seems.. I ended up re-imaging my pc and downloading a new version. It's all better now...

Thanks somuch for answering though...

Being that you are using the company NT, there may be an Administrator rule stating only one profile in OE for your work station. That may be your problem. Talk to your Administrator, and tell him or her you want to have more than one user profilein OE. Hope this helps you.

This was the problem.. I don't know what was set up on the image I had but I'm sure it had to do with something done by the administrator. I re-imaged and it's fine now. Thanks a ton!
