I created a new identity but I think I did something wrong or left
something
out. When I go the new identity it stays on authorizing in the bottom
right
hand corner and then a box shows up to enter username and password which
is
already pulled up and I hit ok and it keeps coming up. I then have to hit
cancel and I get the following message.

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'pop-server.woh.rr.com', Server:
'pop-server.woh.rr.com',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid user name or password.',

Create two new identities. Can you switch between them? If so, import the
messages into the respective new identities and delete the old ones after
you are sure you have everything you need.

I am operating on IE 7 xp media center edition sevice pack 3. Ever
since I
updated my computer to the serivce pack 3 yesterday it won't let
me
switch
identities. Everytime I do so, outlook dissapears and I get this
message.

Outlook Express could not be started because another instance of
it
is
still
running on your computer. Please log off windows and then restart
Outlook
Express. If the problem persists, save your work, and then
restart
your
computer.

At this time I then to ctr, alt, del and end the process of
MSIMN.EXE
and
then when I click on outlook express it will allow me to get back
in.
Any
ideas so I don't have to end this process everytime I switch
identities?
thanks!
