When I first open Outlook Express, I have no problem switching identies and
accessing the text associated with any emails in my Inbox.

But if I work in any one identity for a few minutes --i.e., open up & read
emails, and then switch identities, I go to the new Identity page and I can
see the headers info: From, Subject, Received BUT none of the text of the
emails will display. When I try to create an email to Send, I can type in
the TO: email address and the subject but I cannot type in any text. I
cannot even get a cursor. Obvioiusly, I have a work-around. Close OE, the
open OE and immediately switch identities. So a solution will be a
convenience and will satisfy my curiosity.

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:

Thanks Milly, I will do as you suggest. I was not aware of the Outlook
Express Newsgroups. I am 67 yrs. old and did not grow up with computers like
today's youngsters and would be considered a "computer neophyte" even though
I was smart enough to get two advanced degrees (but not in computers) GRIN.

Wishing you the best. Regards and Cheers
