problem switching identity
 
I have a similar problem (Outlook Express 6) switching identity. default
identity with ISP ok (second ID good also for years) but recently when
switching to second ID and typing in password I get an error message saying
Password Typed is Incorrect. ISP gave me a new password ...same problem.
Can't access the emails under the second ID. Most of my emails came in under
that identity. Shall I make sure (1) anti-virus software is not scanning
email and/or (2) uninstall IE6 and then reinstall? Thanks in advance, Marco

the hour glass turning in the view pane?

Is this a password for the Identity?
Your ISP does not have anything to do with the Identity password.

Create a new Identity and import the messages from the passworded Identity.

To: Ron.... thanks for informing me that identity is not via the ISP
(although they dod supply me with a new password, which didn't help). I did
manage to then somehow retrieve my original emails thru the manage identities
function. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. To PA Bear: I
wanted to start a new thread, but I couldn't get a subject box to open (and
still can't)
