Two accounts on Exchange 2000

[larshald]

Hi !

I have the following setup:
1 exchange 2000 server. Outlook 2002 on the user computers.

My problem is that i have a mailaddress in the format Company@company.com and a mailaddress in the format user@company.com.

I would like to have some of the users to check both the company@company.com and their personal mail. The problem is that the boss vant to see both incoming and outgoing mail on the company@company.com address.

If i connect as user@company.com (primary) and company@company.com, the outgoing mail will be in the user@company.com mailbox. This is not good because the user does not want the "private" send mail to be known by all the users in the company. It is the same problem if i connect as company@company.com as primary account.

The perfect solution would bee to have to "independent" mailboxes in Outlook.

Does annyone know the answer to this question ?

\Lars

Give your BOss an IMAP setup for the compamy@company.com.
Tell the other users NEVER to send private mail as company@compnay.com. [sub]If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, excpect random guesses or no replies at all. Please specify details.

Hi Mark

What you suggest is what i seek, but

The users have "two" mailboxes. The Company@company.com and user@company.com.

This is the setup they want. My problem is to seperate the two accounts, so that the mail that is sent from user@company.com ends up in user@company.com's sent items and company@company.com ends up in company@company.com's sent iems.

Can this be done in any way ? ---

I think the only way to achieve that is to give everyone IMAP and no local PST's, otherwise the sent mail always goes into the local sent mailfolder.
Setup a test environment if you can and play with the IMAP options. [sub]If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, excpect random guesses or no replies at all. Please specify details.

Hi,

Why don't you:
set up the separate "Company" account,

assign permissions to the people who have to have access to "see" that account,

set them up up with an additional profile for the "Company" account in Outlook.

This way the user will designate which profile/account they will login to ("User" or "Company&quot.

Any item sent using the "Company" account/profile will go to the "Sent Items" folder for that account. Also there will never be the confusion of which account is sending the response, becuase as long as you are in the "Company" profile, the mail will go out as Company@company.com.

This way your Boss will be able to see everything that was sent and received for the "Company" account. You will also have the advantage of a separate set of folders (like a regular mailbox), in which to use tasking, calendaring, etc..., which may have some benefit also.

Hope this helps a little,

Wyz

No problem at all Wyz, I was thinking that way in the beginning but did not mention it as I suspect the answer would be: "But they have to read both at the same time and do not wish to close and open Outlook all the time".

We'll see, it may be an option, but we'll hear soon enough. [sub]If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, excpect random guesses or no replies at all. Please specify details.

Thanks Wyzard !

I am sorry to say that Marc is right.

The user will never agree to that, i am sorry but my money is still with Marc.

I'll get back to the problem when i return to work after my hollyday !

Hey Lars,

As long as it works for you, in your environment, and makes the boss happy, then I am more than happy that you chose Marc's solution. I only wanted to offer an option so you could make an informed choice. My hat (once again), is off to Mark for his obvious expertise.

Regards,
