Hi Andy,

Using Outlook Express? 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.

Hi There,
Before I upgraded to XP our PC was just set up for one
user and we both used the same outlook express and the
same user account and email.

Now that we have XP and it is set up for two users, I
have set up the email account in my profile and XP
assumes that the other user will have a different account.

And if I set them both up the same, then messages will be
downloaded into whichever user logs on first, hence
spliting it all up and confusing things.
