Multiple Email Accounts

We have three email accounts all sharing one computer (w/
one user account). How do I set up a login for each
email? Everytime I click send/receive it gets all the
emails from all three accounts. For instance when I'm on
I just want my emails. Then if my mom want to check
hers, we do some type of switch then it would just be her
emails. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm lost.
 
What version of Outlook are you using, and if 98 or 2000, what mail support
mode? If you're not sure, look at the second line of Help | About Microsoft
Outlook -- it should say "Internet Mail Only" or "Corporate/Workgroup".
(Outlook 97, 2002, and 2003 don't have separate modes.)

Thanks for answering. It is the new Outlook 2003, that
comes with MS Office Prof. 2003. It's really a pain in
the butt. I just want to get my own emails, instead I
get everyones. It stinks! Any fix that you know of?
I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks
 
Set up separate mail profiles for each user. Close Outlook, then go to
Control Panel and double-click the Mail icon. There you can set up one
profile for each of the three users. Give each user his or her own Outlook
Data File (.PST) and attach each user's e-mail account only to his/her own
profile. Finally, tell Outlook to prompt for a profile each time it starts.
(You must close Outlook and restart it to switch between profiles.)

Note that the data is not protected from other users unless you add a
password to each of the .PST files...but hopefully if this is a family
situation, you can trust each other not to poke around in each other's .PSTs
;-)
