I can't seem to find any help on this subject. Used to be that you could add
a folder from somewhere on the hard drive to the folder tree in Outlook.
Can't do that anymore (with Outlook 2003).

On my home PC Outlook 2003 is confiugred with 2 profiles. One for me, one
for my wife. I would like to have certain emails sent to a common folder so
when she opens up Outlook she can see them. Before I create a rule that
autoforwards them to her account I was hoping to try just setting up a common
folder.

Your help is much appreciated.

Click to expand...

Click FIle>New>Outlook Data File>Office Outlook Personal Folders File>OK.
Browse to a shared area on your machine (Shared Documents is a good place)
and create your new PST there. Now, in the other account's Outlook, click
File>Open>Outlook Data File and browse to the PST in the shared area.
Select it and click OK. You'll both have the PST in your Outlook profiles
now. Move items you wish to share to the shared PST. It should work fine
using Fast User Switching.
