| 120246 | 2003-02-11 08:53:00 | Hi all, A friend has windows XP & he has it setup so he & his wife have seperate logon accounts. The Question is,Is it possible to setup outlook express so they can both access the same emails as they both share the same email address? At present if he downloads the mail using his logon,she can't see it when she logs on with her account & vice versa. Thanks in advance. Cheers Steve |

If you must have seperate logins you could set the mail program to leave mail on the server and set it to remove after xx days to give you both time to receive it. |

Do the same for your other login :-) Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 120250 | 2003-02-12 04:16:00 | That is an option for sure but I didn't mention it as unless they are familiar with windows there is a possibility they will end up not being able to receive any mail at all. I don't see why 2 people who want to see the same email need to have their own logins, surely they can share the other things as well. |

I use it so that when Im logged and surfing and the parents come in and say "While you're online, check my mail please", I dont have to log out, log in as them, check it, log out, then log back in as me. It can just make life easier :-) |
