Switch Identity using FROM box in Outlook Express

G

Guest

In OE's HELP it says:

If you have multiple e-mail accounts set up and you want to use one other
than your default account, click in the From box, and then click the e-mail
account you want to use.

However, when I open a 'New Message' in Outlook Express there is no 'FROM'
box.

I have two accounts: one for me and one for my husband.

On our desktop PC there is always a FROM box so that we can click on it to
select which one of us is sending the email.

On our laptop, although it is set up for both of us with email accounts
exactly the same as the PC, there is no FROM box when we want to send an
email therefore all emails are sent from the default user ie. myself.

In order for my husband to send an email using his own name he always has to
click on FILE - SWITCH IDENTITY etc. a long-winded route to send an email.

Any ideas please? I have trawled Microsoft's Outlook Express help pages as
well but I'm obviously missing something!
