How do you switch identities?

[Guest]

Hi:
I am trying to help a friend set up extra email accounts in his small
business office using Microsoft Outlook (not express).

He has several computers in the office and wants to have for each employee
a personal business account (i.e. - (e-mail address removed)) and then have each
computer access a main account (i.e. - (e-mail address removed))

When I set up the two accounts in Outlook on the first computer there was no
way to switch identities in their Outlook program (no tab appeared under
"File"), and only the first account set up would appear. There appeared to be
no way to access the second account even though it had been set up,

I experimented and set up two accounts in their Outlook Express program (on
the same computer) and it worked fine. Under "File" "Switch Identity"
appeared and worked properly.
It just wouldn't work in Microsoft Outlook.

Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you need to use Microsoft Exchange Server.

We use it in our office for the same purposes.

Outlook doesn't have identities. It uses mail profiles. See
