Define "open with". An e-mail address doesn't open OE.

You really did a good deed. Thanks.

OE Tools | Accounts | Mail: If your old account's still listed here and you
no longer want to access it in OE (or you can no longer access it), Remove
it.

If you're referring to your old ISP's name appearing in the titlebar (very
top of the OE window), we can fix that, too.

We are getting closer to solving this problem. However, when I open
Outlook
Express, on the top is a line which reads as follows: Outlook Express
provided by the old internet provider. On the right is my correct
identity.
How can the old internet provider be changed to the new internet
provider?

:
Are you referring to the name shown in the Title bar ? Each
email account/profile is referred to as an "Identity". You can
modify that by clicking File, Identity, Manage Identities and
then click the Properties button for the Identity to modify.
From here you can change the name of the Identity.

After all of you did such a nice job solving this problem, I really want to
express my thanks to all of you. I could not have done it without you all.
The only thing I don't understand yet is why my thank you notes did not go
out yesterday. Also clicking on yes to indicate the problem had been solved
did not go through. A couple of times I got a message to try later. Maybe
since I am new to this, could I have overlooked something?

You're welcome and there /are/ a bunch of thank you notes here. We are using
a newsreader. You're using the clunky and unreliable Web interface to post.
Since you are using OE, give it a try.

Or, open OE and minimize it. Now, copy and paste this link into your

Is it normal the messages are being repeated each time? I may try your
newsreader later today. Got to leave now for a while. jonsong12

Anything is possible with the Web interface.
