Outlook & Outlook Express conflicts over folders?

I am sharing Outlooks pst file over a network but if this is in use
elsewhere on the network I can't write or reply to emails although using
Outlook Express & not Outlook. Also if the network is down I can't us
Express either because it obviously can't see the pst.

I do not use Outlook for anything but YearView which is a calendar program.
I use a Palm PDA for contact's etc.
I share the pst so anyone on the network can see the year planner. I
understand that only one at a time can use the yearview (pst) at any one
time and this is not a problem.

I use Outlook Express for all my email etc. But If someone is using the pst
I get an error if I try to reply or write new mail etc. Once I get this
error I actually need to restart XP Pro before being able to use Outlook
Express again (Assuming the other person is no longer using the pst)

Is this same pst used by Outlook & Outlook express, can I not keep them
seperate?

The YearView Calendar is shown under personal folders in Outlook with my
other emails (I have only just noticed)
I just want this in Express?

I hope I have explained this clearly enough, I don't know much about Plain
Outlook & don't really want to but though I they could be separate.

Thanks I/A
Greg Reed.
 
Outlook Express doesn't use a pst-file; it uses dbx-files.

Since your problem is with Outlook Express I suggest you post your question
in an Outlook Express forum. This is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.
Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.
Here is the link for the right forum

Good Luck!

Thanks for you reply,

I have posted on the other forum.

There is obviously some connection between the two, if not a pst file so I
feel Outlook must have some part to play in this.
Outlook Express is meant to be my default email prog. but I am wondering if
Outlook is also try to deal with my email and consequently my fodlers.

Outlook and Outlook Express are completely separate. Outlook has no
knowledge of Outlook Express's folders and Outlook Express has no knowledge
of Outlook's folders.
