Hi

Hi Dave,

There are currently two workarounds and one option:

Click on File/Identities/Manage Identities and remove the
checkmark in "Use this identity when starting a program".

You Cannot Switch Identities in Outlook Express After You Install Windows XP
SP1
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q329084

Another option:

Before changing identity, Press F1. The Outlook Express "Help" window will
open (and leave it running in the background). Now click on FILE > SWITCH
IDENTITY and select your other identity.

Outlook Express will ask the question "Do you wish to keep the same
connection". Answer "YES". It will go to the identity you select.

Option:

Put a shortcut to msoe.chm in the Startup folder and leave the default ID
active.

All the Best,
Kelly
