We have multiple users set up via XP.
I am getting the hang of sharing files, the basics of
user administration.

The two adult users who use the computer for different
purpose share an email account.
We both are set up to use Outlook Express . the email
software of our choice.
One (main user) has correct access, address book etc.
Second user can send and receive, but does not have the
address book, cant see Inbox/sent items etc.
Basically . they are mutually exclusive.

Question is how can both users access the same inbox/sent
items/address book etc ?
IE when one user downloads email and leaves them in
inbox, the other will still have access to them. One one
updates the address book it also effects other user's
address book.
