More about OE Identities

[dunkill]

I've followed the link to where the message below says to
manage identities and incoming mail in Outlook; the
inference is that mail can be individually directed in
Outlook Express by using "identities". I have created
identities in OE but we all get all the messages to our
mailboxes. Family computer, WinXP, Outlook Express one e-
mail address - all software regularly updated. How can we
set this up so I don't get my kids' mail and vice versa?
If I send mail from my identity, shouldn't a return mail
come to my identity only? Also, sometimes I have
to "synchronize all" to get new messages and sometimes
not - how come?

This group is for Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 and 2003, part of the Office
suite. Not Outlook EXPRESS, which despite its name is in fact a completely
different program.
