Inbox Sharing?

I just installed Windows XP pro on a fresh hard drive, and setup two users. Both users share an email address, but have separate documents and so forth. Under Windows 98SE, the inbox on Outlook Express was shared between both users. Under XP, there is a separate inbox for each user. In order to view all received messages, it would be necessary to log into each user and see what each user received. That's no fun.
I have both Outlook and Outlook express. Can either be configured so that both users on Windows XP Pro acess the same inbox from their respective user settings?
 
Yes, for Outlook;
Place the corresponding pst-file (I assume you don't use an Exchange
mailbox?) on a location both can reach. Connect to this pst-file and
configure Outlook in Tools-> Email Accounts to use this pst-file as the
default delivery location for both users.

Thanks, Roady. I wound up sticking with Outlook Express for the moment. I

changed the Store Folder of the second user to match the folder used by the
first user, and all seems well.
