I tried that with no successs. I logged off fine, but
when I tried to log in to the new identity, it actually
blended the two. It told me it was opening identity two,
but what it did was open identity One and bring in the
new identity two messages. I could not get to the other
identity, because it insisted I was alrady there, which I
wasn't. I had to restart. When I did, the identity two
messages were still in the Identity One folder.
