Running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

A single installation of Outlook Express can handle multiple users. Each user is known as an identity, and each identity maintains its own set of mail and newsgroup folders.

To create a new identity:

1. Open the File menu and choose Identities, Add New Identity.
2. In the dialog box that opens, type a name for the new identity.
3. If you want to require a password for access to this identity, select the Require A Password check box. Then type and confirm the password.

To switch from one identity to another, choose Switch Identity from the File menu, select the identity you want, and type the password if required.
