Outlook 97 security problem 1

[ChrisBurch]

I have 40+ users on a network using Outlook 97. Each user has his/her machine setup to receive his/her email. Any person can log onto any machine, but can only access the email folders on their 'own' machine. Everthing works fine, except for two machines where Outlook opens up with the 'owners' email regardless of who logs on.

I have checked both email accounts, and there are no permissions set or sharing allowed. Has anyone got any ideas?

Are you using Exchange Server...???
If so....
Do you have it set up so that mails come into a personal folder on the machines, ie a .pst file???
check that the two trouble machines/accounts dont deliver to a mailbox, which whould be saved on the server, which would mean that when you log on to that machine, the mailbox will pull in the mails for that user...???

If you dont use exchange, I'll have another think about it..!! Jay~

Yes I am using exchange server. I checked the machines, and they both had personal folders set up (at user level). I deleted these (they weren't the delivery point), and the scurity problem was solved. I tested personal folders when the were set at the 'Mail & fax' level and no problem. The problem only comes when the personl folders are set up at the user level.

Thanks for the assistance!!!!
