Outlook Express - how do I create a new account or identity?
Hi
I have Win XP. I have just installed Broadband and with that I have a 'primary email address' which is used as my login username for connecting to the internet. However it also seems to be the default email account for when I log into Outlook Express. Basically how do I change this so the default email address is something else ? I have tried going to Tools, Accounts and changing the properties of the account that is there but this does not work and I can't login into Outlook Exp. So it seems as though I have to leave the account that is set up there. So I tried looking at an alternative solution - something called 'Identities'. I added a new Identity and deleted (by accident) something called Main Identity, however I cannot log on with the new identity - same problem as when I tried altering the account. Firstly what is the "Main Identity" and how do I get it back...do I simply create a single new identity and rename it Main Identity? And how do I set up a new default email address for when I log into to Outlook Express? I was told by our ISP that we are allowed up to 6 email addresses - although I cannot see how we do this without ringing up our ISP each time to get a new password and email address authorised, or is there some way to add a new account, so when opening up Outlook Exp. it goes by default to the new account (instead of my broadband login username!)? Thank you for any help Matt |
