I recently set up a additional identity under OE6 and XP SP2. The
original identity has an email account plus 3 news accounts, each with
several NG subscritions. The new on has only an email account. My store
folder is out on D:

When I switch from the original to the new identity and back to the
original, all subscriptions in the original dissappear. The accounts are
still there but there is nothing in them.

What do I need to do to be able to switch back and forth between
identities and not tloose the newsgroup subscritptions in the original
identity?


Are you trying to share a single store folder between two Identities? You
can't do that unless both Identities are exact duplicates, which doesn't
make any sense to do on one machine. Do you mean two Identities on one
machine, or different machines?

Thank you very much, Tom.

I didn't realize I couldn't share a store folder between two identities on
the same machine. I assume it is just a matter of going to
Tools/Options/Maintenance while in each identity and setting the store
folder to unique name for each identity. Is that correct?
