You can access (see) all identities via File > Identities > Manage

still can't find the second identity in OE. When I try to change identity
nothing happens. I have WXP-Home/SP2 on my PC.

Go to File>Identities > Manage Identities Select the one you want to

use or add your new one. Once you're able to open the new Identity go
to File Import > messages. In the dialog box that pops select OE 6.
Then select the identity you want to import from. You'll need to do
the same with addresses and such.

My comments were actually directed at freespirit! I do not suggest we
start a discussion on the merits of top and bottom posting as usually
neither party will ever agree with the other <g>.
