multiple macines with same account

[Kim K]

Unique situation, business owner wants his secretary to have his account set
up on her machine, but for outgoing only, not incoming mail but to be able to
send an email from him/his account to clients.

I believe I will have to set up both machines to save email on the server
for XX days so that all email can still be pulled into his machine correct?

How do I set this up to only send and not receive?

What other ramifications am I missing?

I personally think this is a bad idea and want to have my documentation and
facts to plead my case when I am asked to do this.

Thanks in advance.

This is very common in an Exchange environment and is called "Delegates".

I don't see a point in even trying to do this with POP3.

For one thing, we can actually enable the boss to see her Sent Items
folder. You can't do that easily with a POP3 solution.

The assistant can also manage the boss's calendar etc.

Set them up with a complete solution, which is Exchange.

You can setup an SBS server or go with a hosted online Exchange solution.

Impossible to tell what to do without any configuration information.
Version of Outlook?
Type of mail account?

yup I guess that would be helpful, sorry I spaced that info.

Office situation, no exchange server, pop3 accounts, outlook 03.

My problems are that they are very strict on not allowing any web access for
client confidentiality, and there is no backup or record of sent messages not
coming from the users computer in outlook. The user will not ever see the
sent message sent on his behalf unless it is cc'd to him.

In the case of POP3 it is very simple. Configure an additional POP3 account
in Outlook with your own login information but with the email address of the
boss. Then in your Send/Receive configuration set the account to send only.
