How many identities do you have, and what is the name of each.
Very important. If you are in ID A and switch to ID B OE disappears. What happens if you are in ID B and try to switch to ID A? Does it work OK going in some directions, but not others? -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Nate" wrote in message ... One of my identities is Master Account which time warner cable set up when they installed the roadrunner and set up e-mail a few years ago. I have my own identity and my wife has her own. I went ahead and reinstalled the sp3 and turned off my firewall and anti virus but unfortunately it's still doing it. When I uninstalled sp3 and it went back to sp2 I went into outlook to see if it would do it and it was doing it with sp2 as well, couldn't switch identities. It's driving me crazy, any more ideas?

See Bruce's reply. Does anyone use this "Master Account" identity? Is your
identity or your wife's identity named "Main Identity" or was one of them originally named "Main Identity" and you renamed it?

Create two new identities. Can you switch between them? If so, import the
messages into the respective new identities and delete the old ones after you are sure you have everything you need. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Nate" wrote in message ...

I created a new identity but I think I did something wrong or left something
out. When I go the new identity it stays on authorizing in the bottom right hand corner and then a box shows up to enter username and password which is already pulled up and I hit ok and it keeps coming up. I then have to hit cancel and I get the following message. There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'pop-server.woh.rr.com', Server: 'pop-server.woh.rr.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid user name or password.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92 "Bruce Hagen" wrote: Create two new identities.
