Outlook express has a mind of its own

[Zylstra]

I just set up outlook express on my Windows XP computer. When I get to the identity list (or any other list) it starts to quickly scroll down the list. Say my identity list contains Jay's ID and Main Identity, I get to that list and then all the sudden, the last identity is selected.

-It Starts like this
---------------------------
[highlight]Jay's ID[/highlight]
Main Identity
---------------------------
Then it goes to this all by its self
---------------------------
Jay's ID
[highlight]Main Identity[/highlight]
---------------------------

And if I select the Jay's Identity, it just selects the last identity, ( Main Identity) , by itself.

Sorry I cant describe it any better.......

Try to choose Exit and Log Off from File menu when you are exiting from Outlook.

zylstra555..... I could be wrong , but I believe that the "Main Identity" is default unless you change it . Open Outlook Express and click File ...then Identities .....then Manage Identities ......  You can add or delete as you see fit .

I don't know why it does it. I tried both of these things.
Its almost as if someone was holding down the down arrow key. There is nothing wrong with my keyboard. I am not running any scripts.
I'm thinking about deleting the main identity, then re-creating it. Doing that will give me problems with Windows Messenger, because of some auto sign in that cant be disabled.

Run for malwares just in case. They are doing everything.

I have no malware on my computer. I have a virus scanner and a spyware/adware scanner.

Well, at lease I got a good laugh!  

There is no malware on my computer. I have an updated version of McAfee anti-virus and Microsoft Anti spy. (I also have McAfee firewall, and of course, the Windows firewall)

My computer shows no signs of any kind of infection.
I suppose I will have to just deal with the cruel mind of Outlook Express.

You can't delete the Main Identity.

I have seen many people with problems trying to use that multiple identity feature, including totally inaccessable mailboxes - important e-mails unable to retrieved by any method. Be careful.
