Seperate user accounts use single mail account

Is it possible for two Vista user accounts to use the same WMail account,
including contacts and all mail folders?
Help much appreciated.

Re: Seperate user accounts use single mail account

I assume you are talking about a POP account.
There is no problem sharing incoming mail, but the rest is problematical.

One solution I've been meaning to try is to get a free Gmail IMAP account,
then configure your other POP account to forward all mail to the Gmail
account. IMAP accounts can readily be shared and kept synchronized
among multiple users.

Gary, see http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_o..._share_address

Is something similar available in Vista if one adds identities?

I don't know. I'm too chicken to try it for fear that it will royally corrupt
things. :-(
