Thanks again, Sue. Excuse me for being a bit thick but I don't know what
"start Outlook with a mail profile" means. When I get to work in the morning
I log on to our corporate network with a username and password, start
Outlook and access my inbox, calendar etc. Do I need to ask our IT section
to create new user accounts for the new mailboxes? I would guess so?
Regards,
Gavin

It's easy, but you do have to take specific steps. Log into a mailbox =
start Outlook with a mail profile that accesses that mailbox directly, not
as a secondary mailbox
