I don't have extensive experience with OE identity use. Someone may offer a
more informed answer.

That said, the identities in use should have their own distinctive name. It
is doubtful that just renaming the second and third (Main) identities in use
will be the fix. It will likely be necessary to remove two of the identities
and begin again. When creating a new OE identity give it a new name.

In my user account when I open Outlook Express/File/Identities/Manage
Identities I find "Main Identity" listed in all three boxes on that page.
And then, when I do the same under my wife's account, I also find "Main
Identity" in all three boxes. Does this mean I've configured our e-mail
accounts incorrectly or does this just mean that the identity of that
particular instance of OE that's open(my user account...or my wife's
account)
is the "Main Identity" for that account?

and still cannot make the Address Book work for other users on my
computer.
I'm running xp media center (xp pro sp2), ie 6, with me on an
administrator
account and my wife on a limited account. We like to use oe6 for e-mail
but
when trying to set up her address book for it I get the error msg. about
address book corrupted, etc. which was supposedly caused by kb911567.
I've
tried setting her up as an administrative acct. and the address book opens
but it's the address book from my admin. acct., not a new address book
specifically for her. When I open her address book in windows explorer,
it
shows two .wab files- administrator.wab and administrator.wab~, same as my
address book. I suspect my problem has something to do with this since I
presume her .wab files should be specific to her. I've tried the
kb918651,
kb918766 fix to no avail. I've modified the registry to show ie and oe
uninstalled so I could re-install them. That did not work. I think that
if I
could modifiy her .wab files I could get her address book going but I'm
not
quite sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated as I've been racking
my
brain on this for about 2 weeks.
