OE must click Main Identity twice to change identities

I have just switched from a computer with OE 5 and Win 98 to one with XP and OE 6. In both computers, the main identity is listed twice in the manage identities box. However, on the old computer I never had to switch identities twice to move to another identity. Now when I try to get to the other identity, the first time it sends me to main identity again; the second time it goes to the other identity. This is not fatal but is annoying.

A tech support person suggested removing one of the main identities, but when I did that, both disappeared. Luckily everything was completely backed up at that moment. I'm not sure why there are two main identities--until that episode I assumed it was a security measure to keep people from accidentally deleting their main identity. Apparently not, however. Actually, now I have three "Main Identities" for some reason, but it only makes me go through two to get to my other identity.

Any suggestions?

Go to Tools/Accounts and click on the one you want for Default then click Set as Default.

Hi,

Identities are not listed in Tools-->Accounts.
