I have two user logon accounts and one email account.
How do I set up XP home, so that I can separate incoming
emails to goto the relevant user when they are retrieved.

thanks
 
Hi Adam,

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.

If you are looking to set up two e-mail accounts, you will need to contact
your ISP.. it may also be possible to do it through the ISP homepage..
Sympatico in Canada offer this function.. others may too..
