Identity Management For OE6 Most families prefer to use the Identity Manager to setup an identity for each member of the household. Each identity can have numerous e-mail accounts. Individual identities can be password protected so that family members can have their privacy. Using a single identity for multiple family members will result in everyone's e-mail showing up when one of the family checks his e-mail. Click the file menu to setup Identity management. Choose "identities" -> "manage identities" to setup the various identities. You can also use the file menu to "switch identities" after the identities have been setup. <next>
The "manage identities" box is pictured below. Highlight an identity and put a checkmark in "use this identity" to set the default identity. However, you won't be able to do that until multiple identities have been setup. Click the "new" button to create a new identity. Highlight old identities and hit the "properties" button to edit already existing identities. Either route will result in the screen shot following the one below. <next>
Type in a name for the identity. You can password protect each identity by placing a checkmark into the appropriate box. This will password protect each identity so that family members can have their privacy. This also enables them to "save password" for their various e-mail accounts so that they don't have to re-enter their password each time that they check their e-mail. <next>
When you click the "file menu -> switch identity" then you will get the following screen. If an identity is password protected then you will need to put in its password in the [grayed out example below] password box in order to login to that identity. You can also return to the Identity Manager by clicking on the "manage identities" box.
