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

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:

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