I want to set up an e-mail account for my wife in outlook 2002. She does not
have many computer skills and I really don't want her using my e-mail. I
would like to set up outlook to check her mail when she wants to and not
mine. Is there a way to do this maybe with a shortcut icon either in outlook
or on the desktop?
 
Create separate mailprofiles for Outlook and configure it to prompt you for
a profile when you start Outlook. You can do this by going to Control
Panel-> Mail-> button Show Profiles...

if you are using Windows 2000 or XP, then set up a separate log-in for your
wife. that will give her a completely separate set of Outlook files.
 
But I keep outlook open all the time and my computer runs all the time so a
seperate windows log in would not work either. Any more sugguestions?
Thanks for your help.

These are not separate Windows logons but separate mail profiles. She closes
your Outlook, starts her own profile, closes hers and starting your again.
