Identities switch in Outlook 2000

I am having trouble finding out how to switch Identities, when I am already in Outlook 2000. Can someone help me?

Thanks,

when you say switch identities do you mean change the from address?

No problemo...

open a new email: click on view then select the from field.

I did this for someone at our work then forgot where to find it. Took me five mins to find it just now.

This will appear from now on, you won't have to keep clicking view etc.

did this sort it?

Thank you for the info, I learned something new. What I am trying to do is switch to a different email box when I am already in Outlook.

I am trying to setup my CEO's Outlook at his house so that his family can toggle back and forth.

I suggest putting Outlook into Corporate/Workgroup mode, then setting up profiles for each family member. They'd have to close Outlook and reopen it (I think...not 100%), but then they'd have their own environment within Outlook.

Thank you so much for your help!!!

that;s true - you cannot do this without exiting outlook to use each profile but that is how u do it!

Thanks for the help again!! So cannot switch identities like he use do in Outlook express. He said that he had a Identity tab under the file menu. Thanks for everyone help.

Thanks,

You're correct, there is no similar feature in Outlook that the Identity tab offers in Outlook Express. Try the workgroup/profiles method, I think you'll get a feather in your cap for it. ;-)
