Outlook Express 6.0 Identities

[Jeffrey Lennon]

I have 3 identities in outlook express, and i need help. I've searched the
web & microsofts lame website. Is there a way to get outlook to ask
automatically which identity to use on startup of the program without
logging off or switching identities first? It seems kind of stupid to have
identities and passwords in the first place if you close the application
without 'logging off' and the next time its opened the last identity opens
right up without being prompted for passwords or which identity should now
be used. Can anyone help with this. I would love to have the identity
window show up every time i load outlook express regardless of how i closed
the program.

Ask in an OE group.

I think you're going to have a little trouble getting an answer to this. I
think that most people configure IE or OE to recover mail from each of their
identities all at once (sequentially actually). Do you know that you can set
any individual identity to be the dominant identity and either recover or
not recover mail from the other identities? I think that's not quite what
you want, but it's the only thing I know about.

Thanks for the help there! The script on the site is just was i was looking
for! Now I can choose which user to log into with a password without
outlook automatically logging the last user in. Works great.
