I recently upgraded to Windows XP, and created user accounts for all family
members. However, only the first user account can see the emails received in
Outlook Express. how do I allow all user accounts to see the emails? Please
help.
 
I think what's happened here is You've used OE's 'identities' feature instead
of creating an account per user.

You'll need to create a seoarate account in each user-session.

Then, if you want the exisitng mail in the right place, import the contents
of the existing mailstore-folder into this new account. The mail is stored
under
c:\Documents and Settings\{user}\Local Settings\Identities\...

Deciphering which folder is which is a problem, as they are 'obfuscated'
with a huge number intsead of an accountname! Also, Explorer may act awkward
and refuse to show you the "Local Settings" folder at all, even though it's
there.
You may need to change the folder-view settings to get round this, so as to
show protected system folders.

The import command is on the File.. menu.

Hope this helps, Ian.
