I just switched to DSL . When I setup the identities for the new server in
oe6 all went well. However, I had 4 different identities in outlook express
when I had dial-up and when you clicked the oe icon in the tray it gave you
a box and you selected the identity that you wanted. Now that I have DSL
when I click the icon it goes directly to the first identity and if you want
a different one you have to go through the whole "switch identity" thing. Is
there a way to get the selection box back ?
Thanks for your time and any help you can offer
Bill

OE will always open to the default identity now.

You can speed up switching a bit with this freeware tool.

Filidentitiesmanage identities....click on oneproperties and put a
password on for at least one of them, then check the box that says "Require
password".

The box will appear at logon and then you can choose the ID that you want.

Hope you don't mind me "jumping" on. I've got a slightly different but I
think related problem. I just got DSL as well and configured my Outlook
Express to recieve email from my MSN server. However, last night we tried to
send out an email that had a large number of addressees. Since then I've
recieved intermittent error messages that read:
"Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'Main Acct (MSN)', Server: 'pop3.email.msn.com',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F"
Any idea why this is happening and then what I can do to fix it so I can
keep using Outlook Express?
Thanks,
jt

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending, and causes a multitude
of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date
A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Also. your ISP limits the amount of addresses you can send to in one
mailing. That you will have to find out.
