Martin

can someone help give direction on how under different
logins access a single pop 3 account?

Thanks in advance
 
Hi Martin,

You can setup all users to access the same e-mail account and mail messages,
but there are some dangers to it. It's easy enough to set up, but carries
with it a danger. You will need to set it up under each login, then follow
these steps:

Log on as any user, open Outlook Express. Click tools/options/maintenance
tab, click on the store folder button. Move it to a shared location
accessible by all users (right now it is under their local profile). "Ok"
your way out and close Outlook Express. Logoff and repeat the steps for each
user, this time selecting the location selected/created by the first user.

*IMPORTANT* Do NOT use fast user switching with Outlook Express left open.
You (and all other users) MUST remember to close it before switching. If any
user fails to do this, the mail store may be corrupted beyond repair, and
all saved messages will be lost.
