For years my family and I have used Outlook Express under Windows98 for
email on our home PC. The use of Rules allowed us to sort email into
different folders for each family member. We have just bought a new computer
with WindowsXP and have installed Office2003. We easily managed to receive
and send email using Outlook2003. However, WindowsXP has users, and this
appears to affect the way Outlook works.
When one family member 'owns' a Word/Excel/Powerpoint document, it is
perfectly possible (and easy) to set things up so that other users can have
access to it. This is what we want to achieve for emails, but have so far
failed to do. When we dial-up to download emails, we want to check the email
accounts of all four family members. Whilst this is possible, the emails end
up in a different 'places' depending on which user was logged on at the
time. It seems that each user has a different Outlook 'space', and we don't
seem able to set things up so that we can access each other's 'spaces'.
(Sorry, I don't know the correct terminology.)
If we download just dad's email when dad is the current user, etc., at least
the emails end up in dad's 'space', but can then only be accessed by dad.
This also means switching users three times to check all email accounts. Can
anyone help to point us in the right direction so we can access each other's
emails? Suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Paul
