Re: Separate Email Access - Newbie Needs Help

Create a new Outlook Profile and configure that profile with an individuals
mail account and a new data file, set it to prompt for profile
(Use the Mail Applet in the control panel to create the profile)

Then on the origonal Profile remove the account you used on the new Profile
The mail & all other data will then be completely seperate.
BTW This only works if the mail accounts are truly individual, and not
catchall accounts.

You cannot switch Profiles like Identities in OE, you have to close Outlook,
then restart in the required Profile

I need some help! First of all, I'm an Outlook Express user, and have no
experience with Outlook, so the KISS approach is appreciated.

My preacher has asked me to help him with his computer, which runs XP Home
and IE 7.0. He uses Outlook for his email, and would like to completely
separate his email from his wife's email. Each has their own email
account, with both currently dumping into the same Outlook inbox. Password
access is not an issue. In fact, one will probably regularly check the
other's email, so convenience is important. They just want to be able to
check the accounts individually, without checking the other's email
account, with emails staying separate, have separate address books, etc. I
don't have a clue where to start.

1) Does Outlook have "identities" like OE? If so, is that a good solution?
Will that provide separate folders and address book?

2) Can I set her up with OE and leave him on Outlook? If I do that, does
that keep the emails separated? Good idea/bad idea?

3) They do not use "User Accounts" when they start up their computer,
instead turn it on and go. I would prefer to avoid User Accounts unless
that's the only option, or at least by far the best one.

Your feedback and advice is very much appreciated. Thanks, JW
