1) Tried it. OE starts with the new identity and then stops responding.
2) I'm creating the new identities because I need additionally e-mail
addresses.
3) I added the accounts to the existing identities and things work fine.
4) OE stops responding whenever I switch to it, I don't have the opportunity
to import.

I haven't tried uninstalling IE7, I will now.

OE File Identities Manage identities Use this identity when starting

this
option and select the new identity in each of the boxes, does OE open to
the
new identity [and work OK]?

1. Have you tested the above?

I already have one identity using the Yahoo! server and two using TDS.

2. Assuming the above 2 identities are working OK, may I ask why you're
attempting to create 2 new identities which appear to be the equivalent of
the original 2?

3. If you add the TDS account to the first identity above (the one running
Yahoo only), is everything OK? If you add the Yahoo account to the second
identity above (the one running TDS only), is everything OK?

4a. If you export an IAF file for the Yahoo account from the working
identity and then import it into the new identity (instead of adding the
account manually), is everything OK?

4b. If you export an IAF file for the TDS account from the working identity
and then import it into the new identity (instead of adding the account
manually), is everything OK?

To export an IAF file: Tools Accounts Mail Highlight (select) the
account Export ...
To import an IAF file: Tools Accounts Mail Highlight (select) the
account Import ...

5. Start Run Regedit [OK]

Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities

How many subkeys are underneath the above key? (Each subkey's {GUID}
corresponds to 1 identity and its store;
http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain.)

6. If no joy with anything above: If you uninstall IE7, does this behavior
persist?

Right, I can create a new identity, OE stops responding whenever I try to
use it. My original identities (3) work just fine, but they were all
created before I installed IE7.

I have noticed that when OE stops responding with this new identity the
status bar still says 'Connecting'. I have contacted both Yahoo! and TDS
(e-mail hosts) and they have assured me that the e-mail address I set on
their respective server was correct.

I already have one identity using the Yahoo! server and two using TDS. I
am
now trying to create two new indentities; one using Yahoo! and one using
TDS. The same problem happens with both of them. The only commonalities
are
OE6/IE7, my machine and the opeator (me); with OE6/IE7 being the new kid
on
the block.

No, you said you can create a new identity but it (or OE) stops
responding:

...When I try to create a new identity, I get through the
process, click "Finish" and OE 6 stops responding. When I restart the
software and switch to the new identity it immediately stops responding.

Tim, how is your original identity working currently? Did this problem
switching identities exist before you installed IE7?

OE was not running. I did a cold boot, turned off anti-virus and
anti-spyware software, then installed. I have even done this and
re-installed. I have even applied the Microsoft update for the OE6/IE7
issue. The only thing that is new, and it wasn't on my machine before I
did
all of this, is Windows Defender.

Now I have noticed something new; OE will not follow hyperlinks. They
are
recognized as being a hyperlink, color, cursor change and address in the
status bar, but nothing happens when I click on the link.

Did you disable your anti-virus application and any anti-spyware
application /before/ installing IE7?

I am running OE 6 (6.00.2900.2180[xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158]) and IE

(7.0.5730.11CO). When I try to create a new identity, I get through

Is there a problem with the combination of OE 6 and IE 7? If so,
how
do I
correct the issue?
