why do you need to switch from one profile to another? I use one profile and it checks all my accounts in one hit.

Because Jayne hasn't been a member that long and as such she does not have enough reputation points to give you a green rep, so it is recorded as neutral reputation which is grey.

I've experienced problems with email disappearing or appearing in the wrong inbox. There are also issues with the From address - i.e. ensuring you use the right one and don't make a tit of yourself. I like order - profiles provide it

There are much better, securer, feature-rich email clients out there - there's no reason for anyone to use Outlook Express. If everyone used it, then that would be a security weakness in the network - one that NTL should be worried about.

if you set it up for all of them to be received into one inbox and then have one default account which you use to send all of your emails it suprisingly makes life a lot more simple.

I just set up XP to handle profiles. Who ever logs on gets their own email accounts. If you have old email accounts they all go into your own express inbox.

Well I tried Eudora and hated it.

I guess I'm an old stick in the mud.

I send and receive emails using my proper name for job and professional purposes. My main email account (dwarfinleopardskin) is for general use. I also have various other accounts I have for specific purposes. My affairs aren't simple enough to warrant lumping everything into one inbox and sending emails as one person

The Bat! lets me view all my profiles (email accounts) in one window. Changing between them (and thus changing the From address) is dynamic. If I want to send as dwarf, I click on any folder under my dwarf account. Easy
