my email on outlook also without anyone else viewing / accessing my emails or
mixing the 2 email accounts together. I s there a way for outlook to have
multiple users withing the business?
 
Dear Roy,

do you have Exchange Server installed or do we talk about a single Outlook
installation but you want to use Outlook with 2 persons on the same
workstation with different PST files?

Your Outlook version is?

If you want to use Outlook on the same workstation with 2 or more people
with different email accounts and different PST files, then you have to
create for every user an own windows user account on the machine or
addtiional Outlook profiles for every user.

To create additional Outlook prfiles have a look in the Control Panel under
"Mail" and select "Show profiles" and add here new profiles..

To create different Outlook profiles have a also a look on this site:

What operating system? If it is an NT-based OS (Windows NT4/2000/XP)
then you define a separate login account for each user. Each account
gets is own profile directory and that is where Outlook, by default,
will save your message store. Each user has access to the files in
their profile but not to the files in someone else's profile (unless
they have admin permissions to provide access but the profiles are still
separate).

If using the old 95-based OS (Windows 9x/ME) then you need to define
separate mail profiles. Use the Mail applet in Control Panel.
Configure it to NOT default to a mail profile so that each user is
prompted when starting Outlook as to which mail profile gets used in
that session of Outlook. You can add a password to the PST file if you
want to ensure that someone else doesn't get to use it.
