Support of multiple users in Outlook?

[John]

Hi,

Palm convert here with a question.

In my Palm desktop I was able to separate my Notes, Calendar, Tasks, etc.
from my wife as a separate user. We both had palm devices and each
maintained separate schedules on our devices and on the desktop.

How do we do that in Outlook?

Thanks,
John

Separate login accounts in Windows NT/2000/XP.
-or-
Separate mail profiles in Outlook (Mail applet in Control Panel).

Which operating system are you using? If an NT-based version (Windows
NT/2000/XP) then why not use separate Windows login accounts?

Windows XP is the OS. Just for the sake of simplicity, we'd rather not log
out then log in as a different user. Under the Palm OS desktop, we could
simply go under a user menu and toggle between the two of us to see each
other's schedule, yet still keep our contacts, to-do's, etc. separate.

Is there a way of doing something similar in Windows & Outlook?

Thanks for the assistance.

You can use Mail applets but they aren't that easy. Define multiple
profiles using the Mail applet in Control Panel. Do NOT select to use a
default profile. Then when you start Outlook, you will need to choose which
mail profile to use. You have to exit and restart Outlook to change to
another mail profile.

Since you didn't mention WHICH version of Outlook that you are using:

You do know about the Fast User Switching mode in Windows XP, right?
