In Office XP, is there a way to have multiple email profiles, but share the
calendar (and contact and task) information across the profiles so that
particular information is visible regardless which email account is involved?

you can share a pst between profiles, but won't get reminders from it unless
you have it set as the default pst - if you set it as default, all mail will
be delivered it to.

In addition to what DIane ways, you can have multiple email accounts in a
single profile. Your workding implies (to me) that you are equating mail
profiles and mail accounts.

Brian:

My original problem was that I indeed was using one profile to monitor
multiple accounts. However, I was forever sending from the wrong email
account because I'd forget to click on the accounts button and make sure it
was being sent from the right one. (It wasn't a big, big deal, I guess, but
it was annoying to have personnel email being sent from business address and
vice versa.)

My solution was to create a separate profile for each email address. Then I
got the the calendar issue.

Is there a better solution to the original issue?

I created multiple profiles because I was continually using the wrong
account to send an email -- I'd forgetto g=

Multiple profiles to guarantee sending address is appropriate.

Diane's suggestion to use the same PST in both profiles should take care of
the issue.
