Outlook Express - XP Mulitiple Users 1

[ATylman]

Can anyone help me with a way that 2 users on the same computer (using XP) can access the same inbox in Outlook Express for the same mail account? At the moment, whomever opens Express first receives all the email and the other user cannot see the new messages.

First, create a common folder that is readable/writeable to both users. Then, for each user open OE and go to Tools, Options, Maintanence tab, Store Folder button and change the store location to the common store folder.

Open outlook express, click on tools, and accounts. Click the mail tab and double click on the mail account.

Click on the advanced tab and towards the bottom you will see "leave a copy of messages on the server". Check this box for both mail accounts.

Good luck.
