Outlook 2007 Profile Problems

[Guest]

I recently installed Outlook 2007. There are two profiles on the computer.
If I open profile A and then close outlook then try to re-open outlook again
it will automatically open profile A without asking which profile to use. If
I look at Task Manager there is an outlook process still running. If I kill
the outlook from the task manager and open outlook again two times then it
will give me the prompt again and allow me to select profile B.

Another problem, probably related is today an email was sent from profile B
and the message was saved in the outbox of profile B. However the email
shows up as having been sent from the email address in profile A. The new
outlook 2007 seems to have some problems in managing multiple profiles. Has
anyone seen similar problems or know of a solution? I never saw these
problems with earlier versions of outlook.

I currently have the same issue with Outlook 2007. Do you know any way to resolve it?

Someone else has reported a similar issue of cross-profile pollination. I
was going to do some experiments with that myself, although it may be next
week before I get a chance.
