What are identities?

You can create a different "identity" in Outlook Express (or other applications that use identities) for each person who uses the program. For example, you and a family member may share Outlook Express. Each of you can view your own mail and your own contacts by creating an identity for yourself.

Once your identity is established, you can create subfolders and organize your contacts the way you want them.

Note

• Your contacts are not private. From the File menu, you can click Show All Contents to see all the contacts for every identity.
• If you cannot see the Shared Contacts folder on the left of the Address Book, point to the View menu and select Folders and Groups.
