Hi. This has been a long time problem, and I'm finally getting around to asking for more help online. Here is the scenerio
My folks have a SMALL business. They run Windows XP on their PC's, as well as Office XP. As a result, they both have Outlook
They have ONE e-mail address to which business send e-mails. This account is used for replying to customers, checking new e-mails, etc. This is the KEY part
However, they each have a separate PC at their desk, and they want to BOTH be able to read and send e-mails to customers throughout the day
I know this is possible with Exchange, but they really aren't big enough or have enough requirements to implement an exchange server. Especially since they just have a simple comcast e-mail address
Currently they use a .pst file to do their business. But one must exit e-mail before the other can use it, and for over a year we've needed a better answer. But I've never found a systems administrator, IT professional, or anyone else that can suggest a way to do what they request without Exchange Server. And while I'm good with operating systems, and can handle creating a Domain Server, Exchange Servers have always seemed difficult without any included documentation and frankly... out of my league
So what is my best approach? Has Outlook 2003 added any features that would solve this issue? Is there another program I can look at to solve the problem? Any help is appreciated!
