Ive had a look through my control panel. Im just getting used to XP, only had it a week but if that options in there its well hidden.

Of course, I think your more concerend over those 13 messages and your second identity, but I never use outlook express (or even outlook itself if I can help), so I dont have much of a clue. Except - there may be a problem with your primary ID rather than the alternate. Try saving everything worth saving and deleting them all. I reiterate im not familiar with express in any way so this may be nonsense.
