844678 2010-01-01 03:36:00 Coming to end of a major install.
Got everything just so as Admin.
Created a User account for family.
How do I get programs i.e. Windows Live Mail to operate in the user account.
If I open the email account as a user it says there are no accounts set up.
How do I get at the Admin version that is already setup? I can run as it Admin but that is not a practicle option every time SWMBO wants to do email.

Also have Mailwasher which starts with windows and automatically checks emails but once again running it as user says it is not set up. It also will work as admin.
There is probably a simple answer, I just don't know it.

844679 2010-01-01 03:49:00 You want to share the same email account but have two profiles?


"Can 2 users share a Windows Mail account on the same PC?
this is possible with outlook express not windows mail.. if you set up the same email address under both profiles.. the first person logging in will download all the emails from the mail server and the other won't.."

How to put it?
I set up the Email account as Admin.
Set up a User Account but when I log on as the user and launch the email program it says no Accounts setup.
How do I give the user access to the already set up mail program.
It will run the original if I "Run as admin"

Its done that way on purpose, as in it doesn't transfer across, that way multi users can have their own separate email accounts.

Thanks WT.
That is exactly what I dont want.

Guess I will just have to live with that and set it up again in user loggin.

As Wainuitech says. But. If you are using the SAME email account, then whoever logs on first will get the emails, and the second person to log in under their own profile, won't.

844684 2010-01-01 19:38:00 Maybe you could set one account up to leave copy on server and the other not to???? B.M. (505)
