Multiple Outlook Mail Clients on one System

Like having multiple Profiles for the "Windows Messaging" mail-Client,
you can also define multiple Profiles for Outlook, allowing multiple users to
read/write their mail messages on the same system:

Right-click on the "Inbox" icon on the desktop
and select "Properties"
The configuration of your
default Mail-Profile is displayed.

Click on "Show Profiles".
By default, the Profile
"MS Exchange Settings"
(Win95) or
"Windows Messaging Settings"
(Win95B, Win98, NT4)
has been created.
( Clicking on "Properties" brings you
to the detailed configuration,(see above)
.

To create an additional Profiles
(for example for a different User
on the same system), click on
"Add".
Like in the original e-mail configuration,
you have to select:
- "Microsoft Mail"
With Outlook 2000, "MS Mail"
is not listed as an "Information

automatic configuration.

click on "Add" to select
the required components
1.service to add:
"Microsoft Mail"
To configure the "MS Mail":

tab: Connection:
verify the path to the post-office
tab: Logon

enter your mail-Username
(as defined by the Mail administrator)
2nd component to add to the
mail profile:
"Personal Folder"
Define the location for the
Personal Folder (PST-file),
then either select an existing
PST-file or enter the name for a
new PST-file.
You will be prompted for some
parameters for the PST-file
(Encryption and password).
I suggest to use the proposed
settings, so just click OK
3rd component to add to
profile:
"Personal Address Book"
Confirm/modify the path and
name of the PAB-file for
the Personal Address Book.
Our new Profile is complete.
in Outlook 2000, select in the
menu: "Tools" / "Options",
tab: "Mail Services" and select
to "Prompt for a profile to be used"
