sending email between user accounts

[Simon]

This is probably a really dumb question. But any help
would be very much appreciated!

I have 2 user accounts on my computer - 1 for myself and
1 for my wife. When either of us checks Outlook, any
email goes into that user's email in-box.

How can we redirect or send email from one user's in-box
to the other?

Thanks!

you'll get a much better response posting this in microsoft.public.outlook

If your email addresses are all "aliases" for one mailbox, you'll still need
Message Rules when using separate Identities/Log-ons (neither of which are
really necessary).

Most families (an intentionally all-encompassing term) will have one Mail
Account with their one ISP subscription ($$/month for all). Most ISPs
provide you with multiple Addresses for the Mail Account (e.g., (e-mail address removed),
(e-mail address removed), etc.) but all of them "point" to the one mailbox. As such,
each Identity will need to use Message Rules so that only mail addressed to
them is downloaded into their Inbox.

The following refers to two addresses, but you should be able to follow it
and amend for three or more:

(e-mail address removed) and (e-mail address removed) are aliases for one Mail Account (mailbox). In
the Identity associated with (e-mail address removed), create a Message Rule stating,
"Where To or CC contains (e-mail address removed), Do not download it from the server and
Stop processing more rules" (the last phrase is important) and place this
rule at the very top of the list.

Then create a similar rule for the Identity associated with (e-mail address removed)
directing any messages addressed to (e-mail address removed) not to be downloaded from the
server.
