joint email account after upgrade from express to 2000

[Guest]

Hi

My husband & I have recently upgraded from Outlook Express to Outlook 2000.
In Express we had separate email accounts on the pc we share and could access
our own e-mails by going to File, Switch Identity. However, in Outlook this
option doesn't appear to be available. Am I looking in the wrong place?

We are on XP. When we upgraded we let Outlook transfer over our current
settings, Inbox, Contacts etc

Can we still have our two separate email accounts in Outlook, and how do we
get to view the messages?

Thanks for any help
Gloria

Your best and most secure method is to use the facility that XP gives you of
two separate Users. That means that you each will have a totally separate
instance of Outlook.

The other option is to create a second Outlook profile. Go to Control
Panel-Mail and add a second profile. Be aware that you cannot switch
profiles like you can identities in OE - Outlook has to be closed first. as
for the first option, as far as I know you would be able to use fast User
switching in order to access the second outlook account without having to
close Outlook for the first user. (I may be wrong about that.....)
