I set up a new account.
Then went to Identities and followed the prompts using same info as I had
just put in to set

You do not do both. You do one or the other. Remove the new account
completely and reboot. Open OE and in the current identity: File |
Identities | Add New Identity and follow the prompts.

Do not add it via Tools | Accounts. You only do it that way if you want
both addresses to use the same identity.

It must have a different OE logon password than the old identity as well.

Sorry, I meant OEaccountsmail and added a new account.

I can go to Identities and switch the identity to open in a new OE
folder. I tried to send an
email from here but get an error message that the recipient is not
accepted.

Somewhere along the line I am misunderstanding. I've tried several
combinations but always
get the same error.

What does that mean? If you want an account/address in a separate
identity, you open the current identity and File | Identities | Add New
Identity and follow the prompts.

I am with Freeola as my provider. I want a separate email address for
my wife.
I went to Freeola and got a new email address
and it's info.Then went to OEattachmentsmail and added a new account.
I thought that would give me two emails to use. I went thru the whole
thing
on identities and it all looked ok and I could switch identities but I
could
never find why I could not get an internet connection.

I have read the Help file on identities and setting up an email address
and
called Freeola no luck. Freeola said to set it up as a rule. That is
not how
we want it set up.

I am stymied on what to do next.
Any help appreciated. Patti
