Flaw in Outlook Express caused by XP Service Patch 1?
I just noticed today that I can no longer Switch Identities from within Outlook Express (6. 00. 2800. 1106). I can change Identities only by either telling OE to open a different one by default or by making OE ask which profile to open every time.
I just noticed today that I can no longer Switch Identities from within Outlook Express (6.00.2800.1106). I can change Identities only by either telling OE to open a different one by default or by making OE ask which profile to open every time. But if I try to switch identity normally while I'm in OE, it just closes and then opens to my default identity. I have 2 WinXP sp1 machines here and they are both exhibiting the same behavior. Is anyone else seeing this as well?

I had the same problem but found that if you go into "Manage Identities", and uncheck the "Use this identity when starting a program" box you will be able to access the other identities. It does require a redundent identity selection but at least you can get to them as before. Hope this helps.
