Joint email account shared by two users

[Elias]

Dear all,
I want to share one email account with my secretary for a special project we
have. We both use Outlook (me 2003 and she 2007) for our own email accounts.
We have created a third, common email account (same domain name) that we both
want to use via Outlook. The question is, if this is possible and how can we
do it.
We of course don't want the emails from this third account to be merged in
any way to our own personal accounts.
Here are some additional features I would like to have, which may not be
possible:
-- If she reads a message, I would like for it to appear as read in my inbox
and vice versa.
-- If she replies to a message, I would like to have the reply go to my sent
mail and vice versa.
Thank you very much. I appreciate any help on this.

What type of email accounts do you have? Can you access the account using
IMAP?

Unless you use Exchange server, it can't be done exactly as you want. The
best you can do is each download the mail to your computer and view it - you
won't see the read state unless you use IMAP.
