A Few Questions About Installation

[Skip]

I have just switched over to Outlook from Outlook Express. I have set up my
four email accounts on Outlook, transferred all my messages and address
book, and it looks like Outlook does fine in sending messages. However, my
OE program continues to receive all my mail. I have not been able to find
out to change this.

Another question is about creating additional identities. In OE I had my
main identity and a second identity that I had one email account that I used
for all commercial business as a mean of preventing junk mail from being
received by my main email accounts. Is there some way to create another
identity on Outlook?

Thanks in advance for any help you might give with the above two
questions--skip

1. Set Outlook as your default mail program in Control Panel > Internet
Options > Programs. Then remove your mail accounts from OE.
2. Outlook uses Profiles, not Identities. You failed to post your
Outlook version. To create a new profile in Outlook 2002 and 2003:

For Outlook 2000:

Outlook 2000 in IMO mode does not use profiles, so you'll have to edit
the registry:
