outlook express: how to use two accounts?

ciboretta · 10-02-2005, 02:00 PM

I am an old lady, please help me!

I cannot find how to use two different accounts in outlook express.
If you have two accounts it should be possible to recive and send email from both, but how can you change from one account to the other without changing your default address?

thank you!

I think what you are trying to do is create new "Identities". Identities allow several people who use the same computer to have their own separate inboxes.

I'm not sure what version of Outlook you have, but you should be able to follow these step by step instructions...

Thank you but I am trying to set up the fax service from my server and they told me it id better for me not to have two different identities. I just need two accounts. One is for my mail ( wich I had already), and I have to use the default account for the fax service.
I don't know haw to live with two account.
When I send a message I don't know if I am sending it from my account n.1 or n. 2.
Now every time I open Outlook Express 6 there is a pop up opening, asking me my username and password for the fax account.

thanks
