Default Shared email account
In news Mark Timperley Mark typed:
We have a single POP3 mail server that collects all email for both my
wife and I (same domain with different addresses). Originally I had
seperate .pst files for both of our XP accounts on the same machine
(which is the default) but realized we were wasting space (and time)
by both getting the exact same emails in each .pst. So I creaed a
single .pst file in a shared directory and setup outlook to use this
for two accounts. We use rules to move the email from the inbox to
our own folders. This works, however, now we get double entries in
this .pst file, since when we each check the POP3 mail server, it
doesn't realize that we already have the mail in our folders and
downloads another copy. How is email flagged as already downloaded?
Is this done by the client or on the server? Is this something that
Outlook 2003 can control? Thanks.

If you've removed the message from the Inbox, Outlook probably won't know
you already downloaded it.
