1121658 2010-07-23 04:50:00 I've got 3 accounts set up but I've forgotten how to toggle between them when sending.
I've looked at HELP but it refers to things I can't even find i.e. FROM below TO and cc on the New Message pane.

1121659 2010-07-23 04:57:00 File menu / switch identity? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1121660 2010-07-23 05:12:00 If they are all in the same identity then you select it in the from box, like so (images.gfi.com). wratterus (105)
1121661 2010-07-23 07:56:00 That's the problem, I havn't got a FROM. martynz (5445)
1121662 2010-07-23 08:18:00 Are you sure you have multiple accounts set up? Tools - accounts, you should be able to see a few mail accounts. wratterus (105)
1121663 2010-07-23 08:45:00 Maybe I'm using the wrong terms.
I have 3 email addresses: a@paradise.net.nz, b@paradise.net.nz and c....ditto
a is my default and emails addressed to all 3 arrive in my inbox. But how do I send using the b and c addys? From what I've read there should be a FROM box with all 3 available for selection.

1121664 2010-07-23 09:31:00 Try removing two of the accounts, restart outlook Express, then add them back in again, one at a time - you should get the "from" option right after the second one is entered and saved. wainuitech (129)
1121665 2010-07-23 09:31:00 I am not sure why you don't have the From option but I noticed that I did not have it either when only one email account was set up in OE. Once I had added another account the From appeared.

It sounds like something is amiss in your settings but I have no idea what, sorry.

Sorted now.
Didn't have ACCOUNTS showing in TOOLS.
Found a Registry hack email.about.com
When I followed the instructions I found that "No modify accts value" was entered twice so took a punt and deleted 1 entry. I didn't alter the value from 1 to 0 but this deletion restored ACCOUNTS in TOOLS so I was able to key in the other accounts.
Bingo! FROM is now on the NEW MESSAGE page.
