Does Outlook have the ability to switch identities? If yes can you tell me
how to set two e-mail identities up?

No. Outlook doesn't use "Identities". What it does use however, is
Profiles. You can create additional Profiles in Control Panel-Mail.
However, you cannot switch between Profiles as you would Identities in
Outlook Express. You have to close Outlook and then open it back up in
the Profile of your choice.

If you open you new message you can click on acounts and the pick which one
you want to send the new message from. It will mark above your message
which account the msg is being sent from. I have three accounts listed
including my MSN.

An "account" in Outlook is NOT the same as a Profile, or indeed an
"Identity" in OE. In either, you can have more than one "Account" in any
one Profile/Identity.
