Creating identities is what you should do
if you have more than one email address and you share a common computer with others. It allows you to use Outlook Express and setup 2 or more email addresses for more than one person on Outlook Express. Identities will
separate your email from mail in the other email boxes. In addition it allows you to
separate out your address book from the other address books. Please review the instructions and screen shots below.
