Windows Forum / Outlook Express / General Topics / August 2008Identities
I read threads here on managing identities, and so I'm wondering if and how switching IDs may be advantageous. As an intl. advocate, I have mail all coming into one ID, now, into dedicated folders, but thinking about it, I may be missing a great advantage in OE. Thank you, as always.  SignatureA true friend is someone who thinks you are a good egg even though she knows you are slightly cracked Do you have more than one e-mail address? If you do, and want it in a separate identity, go to Tools | Accounts | Mail and remove the account. Now add it back via File | Identities | Add New Identity.

Using Identities is one way to sort email by incoming account. MSOE dumps all POP3 email into a common Inbox. If you have three POP3 accounts, email to each gets dumped into the common Inbox. You can create a separated Identity for each POP3 email account, and switch between the Identities. That is the only real advantage that I can think of. The Identities are *not*, individually, secure, even if password locked. Security from snooping requires separate Windows Logons for individual users. Only works for NT based Windows. While Windows 98 and Windows Me allowed for separate users, that only applied to customization of Windows, not security.

Yes, Norm, I tried setting up another Account login on my XP Pro for just that reason, but the limited account had none of my programs (namely Word and OE which is all I needed to use on such). I removed it. But, someone here said a LA was a good idea for security reasons. >> I read threads here on managing identities, and so I'm wondering if >> and how switching IDs may be advantageous.

I don't know how Word installs, but Open Office has the option to install for only a single user, or all users. On my XP systems, MSOE is there for all user accounts.
