| 81891 | 2002-09-22 01:54:00 | Hi all, was wondering if anybody had noticed a change in their Outlook express in relation to checking hotmail (or any other second accounts for that matter)since installing sp1 on xp (obviously it comes down to the default settings). I used to be able to go - File - Switch Identity - click on the hotmail identity - o.k and that was it, it would then change over to hotmail or back. Unfortunately that is no go now, since sp1. After a bit of experimenting i found i now have to go - file - Identities - Manage Identities - and change it from the drop down menu under - Use this identity when starting a program - then go back to - file - switch identities and it will work once OR untick Use this identity when starting a program - but this means always being prompted for which account on starting outlook express, but kind of allows you to switch a bit like it used to. Anyway just thought i would post in case anybody else is having a similar thing and can't work it out - cause at first i thought i had lost the ability to switch accounts!:-) |

| 81892 | 2002-09-22 02:20:00 | JZep, I read somewhere recently (I'm always doing that!) that there's a bug in SP1 that causes problems with changing identities in OE. Perhaps it was in one of tweak'e's news posts. There might be an update or a fix on the MS site. Mike. |
