I just upgraded a PC from Win 98 to XP Home and created 4
differnt user accounts for XP. Now, when one user receives
mail to their Outlook Inbox, it is viewable from the Inbox
no matter which user is logged in. Can't I give each user
private mailboxes?

Help please!

Thank you
 
Is this using Outlook or Outlook Express? If Outlook, what version? If
Express, post in an Express group.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not at the office right now so I
cna't say for sure, but I believe it is Outlook 2000. If
not it is 2002. Is there a big difference in the two when
it comes to how to get seperate and private mail to open
for each user in Windows XP? Thanks again!
 
Yes, due to configuration settings in Outlook. Outlook 2000 has 2 modes,
only one of which can use profiles (Corporate or Workgroup mode) - the
Internet Mail Only mode requires you to use Windows logons to get separate
mail stores.

Thanks again for the reply. I checked and we are using
Outlook 2000. The PC, which already had Microsoft Office
2000 loaded on it, was upgraded from Win 98 to Win XP. I
then created Windows XP logons for all four people that
will be sharing this PC. When I did, the Outlook shortcut
automatically ended up on the desktop of each person when
they individually logged in. When I clicked the shortcut
the first time I went in to each person's desktop, I set
up the mail account for JUST THAT PERSON. And when you go
back and look at it each person's desktop it still shows
ONLY THEIR ACCOUNT and it retrieves only their mail.
However, whatever mail they receive ALSO shows up in
everyone elses Inbox cause if you logoff and log in to the
other accounts you can see them! And if I delete a
message, it deletes it from everyones Inbox. So I have the
different XP Welcome screen logins, and I have seperate
mail accounts (at least I 'think' I do), but for some
reason they are all sharing the same Inbox, etc. How is
that happening and how can I get them to all be seperate
and private? By the way, these are all set to IMO. I have
never used the C or WG mode.

I am on a short timeline for having to have this fixed. I
hope someone can clue me in pretty soon.

Thank you very much!

I have just the reverse problem. I have 4 users and would like to
access the same e-mail from any of these profiles. Any help? Thank
you.

If they truly are separate profiles, then just add an account to each
profile that references the same Inbox.
