Out of Office in other user's mailbox

[Cranky]

Hi

In my office we use Outlook 2000. as well as our own individual
mailboxes we have a team account so that we can use the calendar
function for recording leave, etc. The email function is ignored, and
so the mailbox is not monitored.

This is probably really dim of me, but I can't seem to set up a rule
(as the 'owner') that allows me to set up an Out of Office rule for
just the group mailbox. Every attempt I make to try and have it flag a
warning only seems to work for my personal mailbox.

Is there any way of doing this?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve

Are you logging in to that mailbox directly as the owner?

Sorry, I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

I'm the owner of the mailbox. When I open outlook it defaults to my
own mailbox. I then have to go to File -> Open -> and then select it
from the list. It doesn't appear in 'my' mailbox list.

Does that make sense?

Thanks Brian

Create a mail profile containing the account of the mailbox and log into that
account using the credentials assigned to the mailbox.

That did it. Thanks, Brian!
