| Vista Home Premium | Different user accounts viewing same Mail account Hi, I've just come into the world of Vista from 98SE, so please be gentle with me! Our family has one email address. I have set up separate Windows user accounts for each member of the family. Is there a way of setting up Mail so that everyone can see all emails downloaded rather than just those that have been downloaded while in that Windows user account? Hope I've made my query clear! |

Tools>accounts>select account>properties>advanced tab. Also select and set a sensible number of days to delete messages from the server, to prevent the server mail box from filling up. Do the above on both user Accounts, but only set the delete option on one of them. -- Regards Steve. MS-MVP. Mail. [DTS] http://www.getsafeonline.org/ |
