Multiple email a/c's

[Tom]

Hi

Am using Outlook 2003 with 3 email a/c's

At present all emails are received in 1 inbox & sent are shown in 1 outbox.

Can outlook be configured so that emails sent/received from a/c A go to sent
box A & Inbox A, emails for a/c B go to sentbox B and Inbox B etc?

TIA

Tom

Yes - you need to do it via Rules and Alerts....

Thanks

Could messages in Inbox A or B and Sent box A & B be accessed by a another
person on the same network?

Depends, is the answer to that. if you are not on Exchange server then the
answer is no, AFAIK.
if you are on Exchange server, I know you can give rights to others to see
your mailbox, but that's just on the exchange server AFAIK. Presumably what
you are talking about is POP email and a local pst file?

Correct a Pop3 and a pst file held on a server.

We have a general email a/c [info@aaa] which we want all users on the
network to be able to see received and sent emails for that a/c - we have
only a small office and it does not justify using Excahnge server.

Or are there any other ways to achieve the above?

Firstly, MS does NOT support the use of pst files over a network - having
been down that route it is a very fast and frequent way of corrupting the
pst file. Make sure you have very frequent backups if you want to persist
with that...

If you are not concerned with sharing calendars, there are freeware mail
servers that you could install and run on your Server that would allow you
to create IMAP accounts on the workstations...
Or you could enquire of your ISP whether you could convert your POP mail
account to IMAP

Mercury Mail isn't free but then using freeware for business often
doesn't make financial sense. It supports IMAP. Their 15-user
commercial license is $75, a lot cheaper than getting MS-Exchange.
However, Tom never bothered to detail just how many users are in his
"small office". It has a 60-day trial.

SurgeMail is free for 5 users, or less. So how small is your small
office? You might try Googling for other free mail servers.

It is still free for NON-commercial use. For business use, you are
expected to pay for it.

Reasonable enough....
