Multiple User Settings
The Identities feature in Outlook Express allows you to create an "identity"
for each user. Identities allow you to set up an "Inbox," personal folders, and e-mail
accounts for each user. This feature allows for greater privacy and security because each user
can password protect his or her e-mail.
To create a new identity:
- In Outlook Express, select Identities from
the File menu.
- Select Add New Identity and type in the
user's name (full or partial).
- In the Type your name: box, type a name
for the identity.
- If you want to set a password for your identity,
click the Require a password check box to
select it, type and confirm your new password.
- Click the OK button, and then click the Close
button.
Manage Identities
To change the current identity's settings:
- In Outlook Express, select Identities from
the File menu.
- Select Manage Identities.
- To change your identity name or password, select
it and then click the Properties button.
To change the identity that Outlook Express opens
on startup, click the Use this identity
when starting a program check box, and
select an identity from the drop-down menu.
- Click the Close button.
Switch Identities
To change from one user identity to another:
- In Outlook Express, select Switch Identity
from the File menu.
- Select the desired identity (enter the password
if required).
- Click the OK button. The current identity
will appear on the gray bar. Note: If you
do not log off of your current identity before
you quit Outlook Express, you may not be able to
log on using a different identity. To prevent
this from occurring, log off of the current
identity before you quit Outlook Express.
