I am attemtping to setup multiple email accounts with outlook 2003. I have successfully set each user up with their own *.pst file but the email account settings are configured per windows login. These users share a common windows login. Is there a way for change the windows settings to look at their own location for email account settings. Thanks.

Go to Control Panel and click on the Mail Icon. Click on the Show Profile button. Add your different profiles then click on the Prompt for a profile to be used button. Now when Outlook is launched it will let you select which account to use.

Kurt's recommendation will work, but why not just create a login for each user? Life's more painless for the brainless.

I do not want to create a login for each user, as there are numerous users that login to the same computer. Also I am attempting to configure it so the users can login on any computer and access their email. Their *.pst file is located in their home directory on the server. The profiles will restrict this flexiblity. Is there any way of moving the email account information to their home directory? Thank you in advance.

So how can each user have a home directory if they're all using the same login? "The profiles will restrict this flexibility." No. Just the opposite. My recommendation, create a profile for each user and set up Roaming Profiles. Life's more painless for the brainless.

Each user has unique login to a Novell server which maps to a directory on the server. These users share a common Windows login account. This has allowed users to login anywhere on the network using their Novell username and the shared windows user name. No personal settings are stored on the workstation. Once logged in they can pop their email which is stored within their home directory. By creating these profiles, a user will have these profiles on multiple computers in order to have the flexibility they desire. Thanks.

Hello. I use multiple users all the time however when I set up on our new computer, it is not working. It first prompted me for a user, then when he logged on it will not promp again. It is set to prompt for user. Donna
