Hi

I have set up my default email and it all works ok, BUT I cannot set up
any other accounts or even modify the existing account. In fact
"Accounts" has disappeared from the menu altogether! Also I cannot set
up News reader access because Accounts is missing and the link on the
default page does nothing.

I have tried deleting the identity, uninstalling and reinstalling OE,
nothing works. There must be a system setting or a registry fault
somewhere but I can't find anything.

Any help please?

Regards

Anthony

No Accounts in Tools drop-down box:

Go to Start>Run>Type: regedit. Locate this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express

On the right-hand side of the page, double click: *No modify accts* value.
{If this value does not exist, on the Edit menu, click DWORD Value. Type: No
modify accts, and press Enter to save the name}.

Change the setting of this value from 1 to 0, click OK.

That should put it back in the drop-down box.

If you have any problems with those instructions, this is a direct registry
modification download that will also put it back:

I have a similar problem. Have reinstalled IE7 and tried your registry
modification. "No modify accts" already showed the value of 0. I did change
it to 1 and back again with a restart, unfortunately without success.

I suppose it is unlikely that this will be spotted by anyone again, but I
can but hope.

It would surely be noticed if you started your own new thread describing
/your/ problem instead of hijacking this one.

A similar problem, or the same problem? Are you missing the Accounts option
when you click on Tools on the *OE* menu bar, or something else?

How, and why, did you reinstall IE7?
