I have set up an email inbox as an administrator but
cannot see it in the other user access groups. I
understand that I need an exchange server and public
folders - but I am a small business with only one
computer - is there any other way? I just was all user
groups on the PC to bve able to access the outlook inbox
(but retaining the admin rights i have)

help?
 
The only way to accomplish this is to point Outlook in all of the users
profiles to same .pst file. You have to be very careful about this if you
are using Windows XP with fast user switching because the .pst file should
only be accessed by one user profile's Outlook at a time or corruption can
occur. You will probably need to move the .pst file to a location
accessable by all of the profiles, most likely a folder on the C:\ drive.
Since at this time it is located in the administrators profile and the
other users will not have access to that location.
Use the following steps to determine the location of your .pst files:
1. On the File menu, click Data File Management.
2. Select the name of the .pst file that you want more information on.
3. Click Settings.
4. Click OK, and then click Close.

I hope this information is helpful.
