Try creating a new identity in Outlook Express, switch to it and set up the
accounts there and test it. If all works then your earlier identity (most
likely the default "Main Identity") is corrupted. You can import your
messages from the problem identity into your new one using
File/Import/Messages, selecting OE6 and From an Identity.

Help!! I had to do a system recovery on my laptop. I was able to
establish
an account on OE6 but cannot add another account for my wife. I kept all
the
particulars to re-enter but all fails.

Also I clicked on the Remember my password option in the accounts
properties
but I am required to enter my password everytime. I have Windows XP on a
Pentium 4 processor with 512 meg Ram.

Can anyone help?

Phil
