I have a brand new computer running XP Home, with Service Pack 2 installed.
I am using Outlook 2003 as my email client, and I have two Windows accounts
set up on the computer. One is for me, and the other is for my wife. I
would like to be able to setup Outlook so that each Windows account uses the
same message store folder. That way, we both use the same inbox for our
mail. There is only one email account between the two of us, so this feature
would really come in handy. I have done this on Outlook Express, and it
worked wonderfully, but cannot figure out how to accomplish the same thing in
Outlook. Any ideas??? Thanks.

With Outlook closed, move the .PST file to a shared location on the hard
drive. When each of you opens Outlook from your Windows profile and it
complains it can't find the .PST, point it in the right direction.
