I still have the problem with the switiching identities, so I have avoided
that for months now by logging out one, then signing in the other instead of
just swithing identities, because I am not smart and can't figure out how
else to fix it.

But now the new problem that also locks the outlook express is when people
send me a link to something. When I click the link, NOTHING, except it locks
the OE up totally.

What's wrong with this thing? I always have compacted the folders as it
recommends. And I don't understand what to do with the advice I have read
about the moving folders..... can't I just delete all in the inbox, sent, and
saved?
