two accounts on Outlook

[Pinkpig]

Hello all.

i Have a question about setting outlook up for two different people using the same machine. Can outlook be setup so that these two users can have there own Contacts list and inbox etc...?? This is on a WIN98 machine. I tried going into control panel and creating users, and when i logged in and opened outlook with either accounts i see the same info, they dont show seperate things. The reason i want to do this is because were trying to sync the info in outlook to our handhelds and dont want appointments and contacts etc to get mixed up.

Thank you
Laura

What you wanna do is go to file, Manage Identities.

- Type in YOUR name

- Then you have to type in the e-mail

- setup your pop 3 and smtp servers... i.e ( mail.verizon.net - smtp.verizon.net ) Check your ISP if you don't know.

- Then your actual account name and password..

I have four identities on mine and it works like a charm...



Good Luck!

Would this just give each user its own e-mail account? what about the Contacts and appointments?

Every identity you set up would have their own personal file with a .PST extension. This file contains your Inbox, Calendar, Contact list etc.

This will not create an e-mail account for each user. For that you have to work with your ISP to create unique e-mail addresses for each identity in Outlook, and then use that e-mail address when setting the identity up.

Sorry i did leave that part out, the actual e-mail address itself must be registered with your ISP.

For Outlook you can set up multiple users on the computer, log in as each user and set up Outlook for that user.
