i've just got a new laptop and want my own email account. my dad has separate
pc and we use broadband wanadoo. we set up my email address with same
username as dad's example below:

(e-mail address removed) mine is : (e-mail address removed)

and same password. the problem is emails show on inbox of whoever accesses
outlook 2003 first - can i set up my own email account with same user name or
do i have to have different user name and password ? does this mean having to
have a new connection put in or can i share the line (sorry i don't know the
lingo!) can someone please help me?
many thanks
 
Hi Kelly,

if you want to have seperate folders (inbox, contacts, calendars etc.) in
Outlook for 2 users (one for dad and one for you) then you will need 2
different Outlook profiles with 2 different e-mail addresses like:

How to create Email profiles in Outlook 2003?:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;829918&spid=2520&sid=486

Normally you have one profile: "Outlook" your dad could use this. You could
name your profile "Kelly".

The profile "Outlook" (your dad) will get the profile with this account:
(e-mail address removed)

and your profile "Kelly" will work with this email account:
(e-mail address removed)

All other information are on the microsoft website.

I hope it helps.
 
I am also having this problem. I have two profiles set up, but only one user
login for WindowsXP. The problem I have is that when I first open Outlook
and select the first profile I'd like to use, everything works fine. If I
close Outlook and open it again and select the second profile, I still see
the Inbox of the first profile. The only way to open Outlook for the second
profile is to reboot the system and open Outlook by selecting the second
profile the first time Outlook is opened after a reboot.

How can I use two profiles using only one WindowsXP account without having
to reboot in between?
 
Check that Outlook.exe isn't resident after you close Outlook to change
profiles. If it is you need to determine what is holding it open. You can
kill the outlook.exe process but might lose data.

No need to ask more than once.

This indicates that one of your addresses is an alias of the other and that
your ISP does not distuinguish between the two of you. The thing to do in
this case is first to contact your ISP to see if you can get separate
mailboxes. If they won't do that then you'll each have to enable leaving
copies of messages on the server. Both of you will download all the
messages and use a rule to delete those not intended for you. One of your
should have the option enabled to delete the messages from the server after
a certain number of days so that the mailbox doesn't fill.

Then perhaps you have the second profile set to access the first profile's
PST as well.
