I am running Outlook 2007 on a machine which is used by several different
people.

When a user starts Outlook they are prompted to select a profile.

How can you tell which profile is in use when Outlook is running. At the
moment each user has to shutdown Outlook and then restart it so that they
know that their profile is the one being used.

They could always open a message in the Inbox and see who its addressed to.

A message in the inbox might be addressed to any one of the different
profiles that uses the machine.

You could, I suppose, open a new message and see who it was addressed from,
but that would be more time consuming than shutting down Outlook and
re-opening it again.

There is no mailbox name displayed. The nav pane has "Mail" at the top, the
folder pane has "Inbox" at the top, both of these change as I move aroung
within Outlook, and the last pane shows the current message.
