inbox sharing

[Joe]

two users, same computer, same e-mail address. anyway to
share the inbox, so both can see the mail no matter who
gets it online?

Using profiles for each user? Sharing is not recommended. But it can be
done, if each user never adds a mail folder, changes a message rule, nor
alters the list of subscribed newsgroups.

The procedure is called "cloning" and is outlined here:

Joe,
Apparently there is a way. Find Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article 317031.

However - BE CAREFUL. When we did this, we completely
lost the original inbox. I still cannot figure out why
as there is no change made to the original inbox at all.
All you are doing is pointing the inbox for the second
account to the original mailbox. Good luck.

It is a good idea to not use 'fast user switching ' when sharing the OE
message store.

Move the OE message store to a subfolder of "Shared Files". Then, for each
user, change the message store location to point to the shared folder
(Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder, Change). That's what I've done
and it works perfectly.
