Subject:OT: Need Advise on Separate Mailboxes on XP From:"Nancy Kaminski" <nancy -dot- kaminski -at- spanlink -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 1 Aug 2003 14:31:22 -0500
I'm trying to configure my home PC so that my mother can deal with her
email in her own instance of Outlook. Here's the setup:
Office 2000, WinXP, two separate users configured--me and Mom. I'm the
administrator. The installation is all default settings. I upgraded from
Win98.
If I change to Mom's desktop and open Outlook, it shows my email, even
though her email address is the only one set up there. In the same way,
her email shows up in my inbox when I'm looking at it under my user ID.
So---can i get this separated out? I think the .pst file is in the
AllUsers folder, although I'm not sure. If I copied that file into our
separate user folders, and then imported them into the two instances of
Outlook, would they remain separated?
Thanks for any help you can shed on this---offf-list, please. Obviously
I'm no Windows expert!
Hoping to achieve email privacy (not that Mom snoops, but still...)
