should not happen

[Kelvin Reed]

I just connected an XP pro machine to a 2003 Server, I used my Admin account
(not Administrator) on the server to create an account for this computer.

It then brought up a box showing my username and asked if I would like to
create a user account - strange I thought, as I had just used this to log
in.

I hit return and the box disappeared.

All seemed well until I logged on from the workstation and tried to collect
my email. It has created a brand new set of empty mail box folders, and all
of my email has gone.

It still remembers my email account details and all of My Documents are
still available, but my email from Outlook Express and Outlook has gone.

any ideas?

Has it created a new profile for you but left the old on intact? I have seen
this happen in a standalone situation, and in that case would check
C:\documents and settings for a username that ends in .001 this would
indicate that a duplucate profile has been created.

If you find that that is the case then you can copy the data from the old
profile to the new one.

See if it created a different identity for you in OE. Go to File -- switch
identity and see if you are still there.
