New OE Identity created under XP User "A" not Visible under XP Use
 

Using WinXP SP2, OE 6. While Logged on XP User Profile "A", I created a new
OE Identitiy (lets say "Kevin") in addittion to "main identity". OE Identity
"Kevin" is successfully set up, associated with a separate (from "main
identity") email account and is able to send/receive email fine.... but ONLY
when logged onto XP User Profile "A".

When logged onto XP User Profile "B" or "C", only the OE "Main Identity" is
selectable. OE Identity "Kevin" does not appear... so you can not Switch
Identities.

How do I get XP User Profile "B" and "C" to recognize OE Identity "Kevin" as
a "switchable" Identity?

Is Kelly's Korner's
(http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_o..._share_address) method of
editing registry entires going to solve this? It sounds like its close, but
not exact.

Advice?

Profiles cannot share information not in the particular profile. If
using profiles, accounts and identities must be created in each profile.
This is by design.

In addition to what Jim has said, the "Main Identity"s that you see
under each Windows profile are NOT the same identity. They have the
same name but don't share the same data.

Identities are defined in the private Current User portion of the
registry. Users can't access each others private registry section.

It is possible to share data files across users. See the cloning
section of
http://www.insideoe.com/backup/index.htm

But once you've cloned an identity, any changes you make in a variety of
settings won't automatically propagate. This includes Blocked Senders,
Message Rules, Accounts, etc.
