outlook97 - showing other mail boxes

We have several people who use the same workstation with a generic login. Outlook97 is set to show several mail boxes under the main login. But, when people send or delete items, it goes into the sent and deleted items under the main mail box. Is there a way to get them to go under the respecitve mailboxes?

You're defeating the whole purpose of file security when you have multiple users logging in with the same account.

I find it difficult to believe that all the users are using the same e-mail profile. Sounds like your Outlook isn't configured properly, as well as the problem with all users having the same login.

Give each user his/her own login and set each user up to have his/her own specific mailbox.

Why bother having NT if you're not gonna use it the way it was intended? :)

Thank you for attempting to answer my question. I work for an interior design firm, and we also have a retail outlet where we sell furniture. We would like all the showroom salespeople to have access to email, and there is room for only one workstation at the checkout counter. Constant logging in and out is not an option. With your rigid and limited view of how systems should function, you would not do well in the results oriented environment where I work.

Sorry, don't think you can change that. I assume you are POPing your mail and not connected to an Exchange server?

treener, Jennifer tries to help you by making a suggestion and you insult her.

You were doing great until your very last sentence. That comment was just plain rude. You're not using NT the way it was designed. So who's being rigid? I certainly hope you're not in Customer Service.

Next time you ask for help, be more specific in your request, and perhaps you'll get answers that are acceptable to you.
