I share a home computer running XP. It has two user accounts. I have set up
e-mail accounts outlook 2003 in my user account but all email arriving can be
seen by the other user when they log on. Equally if a folder is created it
appears in the other account and vice versa. This does not happen with
outlook express. Is it possible to configure this programme so that it can be
used on two user accounts and set up differently on each account?

Your email accounts are probably aliases of the one master account - i.e. in
the format of (e-mail address removed) , unfortunately there is no answer
for this AFAIK other than to either set up a second COMPLETELY different
email account with your ISP or to utilise something like hotmail or
Gmail....
 
Hi,

in addition to Gordons answer, maybe you work with same PST file:

versa.

Check the path and name to the Ouutlook.pst file. Click on the "Outlook
Today" folder => right mouseclick/properties/advanced/ and have a look on
the field "path". Where is the PST file stored and what is the name of the
PST file.

If you have in both Outlook profiles the same path and the same PST file you
have to create for one of the profiles a new, seperate PST file.
