Windows XP and email

[Dudley]

How do you set-up email to be accessible by more than one
user? The way the system is configured now my wife has
to log on to my account in order to review our joint
email account.

Hi Dudley,

It's easy enough to set up, but carries with it a danger.

Log on as any user, open Outlook Express. Click tools/options/maintenance
tab, click on the store folder button. Move it to a shared location
accessible by all users (right now it is under their local profile). "Ok"
your way out and close Outlook Express. Logoff and repeat the steps for each
user, this time selecting the location selected/created by the first user.

*IMPORTANT* Do NOT use fast user switching with Outlook Express left open.
You (and all other users) MUST remember to close it before switching. If any
user fails to do this, the mail store may be corrupted beyond repair, and
all saved messages will be lost.

Ask your ISP if they allow you to connect to more than one POP3 account.
