outlook client used by two users

We have two part-time employees that will now be using the same station (windows 98SE). Can i setup outlook client to prompt for the user to login?

Within Outlook 2000, select TOOLS>OPTIONS and then select the "Mail Services" tab. At the top of the Mail Services dialog box, you will see "Startup Settings." The default setting is "Always use this profile." Change that to "Prompt for a profile to be used" and it will allow you to do what you want.

Note that if you do not see the Mail Services tab when you look under TOOLS>OPTIONS, it means that Outlook was not installed with the Corporate/Workgroup option.

If you have not already done so, it is also necessary to create a Outlook user profile for the second user. To create the second outlook profile, log onto the workstation under the users network login ID, and launch Outlook. Go to the Control Panel and click Mail icon, then the Services tab. Click the Show Profiles command button and you will see the profile for the first user. Click the Add button to add the profile for the second user. You will also have to configure services for the second user - mail and internet options, etc.

Good luck.

If you set up Windows level profiles using control panel password (depending on the OS), you can then go into each profile and set email up for the individual.

Then you don't need to prompt for mail profile.
