| 135906 | 2003-04-15 04:17:00 | Is it possible to share the e-mails u recieve in Outlook Express? We have seperate accounts on our PC and to check E-mail we have to use the same account so that they are all in one place? Is it possible to check them in one account and be able to see them in another account? | Pharoah (3603) | ||
| 135907 | 2003-04-15 04:41:00 | If you are talking about having different email addresses, it is possible to set up different Identities on Outlook Express for each email address, meaning that the emails that each address/identity receives will be separated. However (if I am right) you won't be able to check a email that was sent to a particular address on one Identity, from another identity within Outlook Express. You can set that up by clicking File > Identities > Add New Identities. To log on to a different identity, click on File > Switch Identity... Hope this is of some help, cheers, caffy |

| 135908 | 2003-05-05 06:08:00 | Hi Pharoah, Did you manage to do it? If so please tell, it's driving me potty, I have confused myself totally with accounts, identities and connections. The biggest problem is getting on line from my wife's XP account unless using my connections as it wont accept her; if you get my drift. Help. |

| 135909 | 2003-05-05 06:36:00 | jockT there is an excellent Outlook Express information site (http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/) that may be able to help you with your problem. I have not got time to search for you at the moment but you could try putting "identities" into their search engine or you could just browse around there. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 135910 | 2003-05-08 02:30:00 | Thanks SusanB, I have SP1 and have the same problems using Opera. I think it's XP, I get password rejection from one or other of our accounts, depending on which one made the connection to xtra using the wizard. | jockT (3500) | ||
| 135911 | 2003-05-08 02:42:00 | If you know how to do it, this can be really easy to get going: You'll wanna make a folder on your HDD, something like: C:\Mail will do just the trick. Open your first user, in OE.... Click on -Tools -Options -Maintenance Now down the bottom, click on Store Folder Point it to save your mail in C:\Mail Now, there are no limits here, you can have a different User in XP, or a different Identity within that User, simply logout... and login as User2, then do the same, pointing Outlook Express to the same folder. If one user has the account setup correctly, Click on: -Tools -Accounts And you can Export the account settings there, then login to the other user and Import the settings. Congratulations, Both users now share the Email account! Hope this helps Cheers Chilling_Silence |

In Windows XP, you can set a Dial-Up Account to be for 'This User Only' or 'For all Users', You're gonna want to set it to all users :-) |
