Multiple Users on One Windows Logon / Autodelete of read messages

[Rick Johnston]

Hello,

I am having two problems in a new office environment.

1. Everyone is using the same Windows logon (only one user accout) while at
the same time trying to use their individual email accounts in Outlook. I
found that when I added an Outlook profile for myself that I see multiple
users incoming mail including my own. Is the best fix for this is to create
seperate Windows logon profiles for everyone or is there some other way to
handle it?

2. Maybe this is a seperate issue, but every time I open an incoming message
(addressed to me or one of the other users), it is AUTOMATICALLY DELETED
from the Inbox and I can't find it anywhere - even in the Deleted Items
folder. This seems very undesirable but I can't find a control for that in
"Tools" - would appreciate any help on this one too.

Thanks in advance,

Rick Johnston

As for the disappearing e-mail, make sure you do not have a view or filter
set on the in-box, such as unread messages.
