Outlook Express and Windows XP
I am not a tech person, so please excuse this simple
question. I have a new Dell 2400 with Windows XP and Outlook Express. I set up 3 accounts in Windows XP. I then had support from rr to set up email. Three Outlook accounts for my family were set up in a single XP account. We are unable to access email from the various XP accounts and always must enter my XP account for everyone to get email. Certainly we should be able to access Outlook Express email from our individual XP accounts. I will assume the initial set up was wrong. How do I set up Outlook Express in XP to access email from each XP account?? Thanks in advance for you assistance. DT |

I then had support from rr to set up email. Three Outlook accounts for my family were set up in a single XP account. If I am reading this correctly, then you setup the 3 email accounts while logged into 1 XP account? If this is correct, then that is your problem. You must login to each XP account and setup the email account for that person there. We are unable to access email from the various XP accounts and always must enter my XP account for everyone to get email.

Certainly we should be able to access Outlook Express email from our individual XP accounts. I will assume the initial set up was wrong. It sounds like he set it up so that you could check all three email accounts from your account rather than each person accessing their own. Log in as you and start OE then have a look at: Tools - Accounts - Mail Tab. If there are three+ mail accounts set up there then I'm probably right. One will be yours and the others will connect to accounts for other family members. With luck he may even have given them suitable names. You need to copy the right email account to the right winXP user account. Highlight one of the email acounts mentioned above (not yours) and click Properties. Then then write down the settings on each tab (eg General, Server, Connection etc). Then log in as another user and repeat Tools - Accounts - Mail Tab. Then click Add - mail to create a new account and re-enter the data you wrote down when it asks for it. Once you have accounts working for each user you can go back and remove them from your set up (but not before incase you ned to go back and double check what you wrote down was correct). The OE help system has info under "add new mail or news account". Colin |
