Sharing PST files

My partner and I each have different profiles (Windows XP) on our home computer, but have a shared email account. When I first set up the email account in Outlook 2002, I was logged into the computer as myself and just clicked on all of the default settings to establish the email account. However, I've discovered that she can't access the email account when logged into the computer as herself

Is there some way to save all of the Outlook files associated with the email account to a shared folder and to instruct Outlook to look for that account information in the new location?

Yep! Just move your pst file to (say) the Shared Documents Folder and remove
her pst. Then when either instance of Outlook is first opened, it will
complain it can't find the pst. Jut point it to the file in Shared
Documents.

You just need to be aware that you can only have one instance of Outlook
accessing the file at any one time.
