Default How can I let my family use the same Inbox under different use

Suggest you post to the appropriate o/s group the Q about
administrators/users/rights
I have no specific knowledge on this, other than by reading help pages

Installed OL once for all users. But I do have five administrator's

accounts,
instead of administrator's rights. That is most probably the reason. Can

you
point me to links about how to set the other accounts over to a limited

user,
while granting them administrator's rights?

If you have the PC set up with multiple logons point each users OL

to the same pst.
It seems like you have installed OL for each user, rather than all

users.
I hope also you mean 5 users with administrative rights, rather than 5
administrator accounts, if the latter is the case you are setting up
problems.

Thanks again for the help. I actually had to change the default pst in
outlook first, and then delete the personal pst from the configuration

panel.

What hasn't worked yet is to use the same profile over all the users.

The
profile I've made under one user doesn't show up in the configuration

panel
of other users. If I can get this, then I think I'm all the way home.

I've
fished around in the local settings and application settings to try to

copy a
profile, but that hasn't worked.

Any tips on how to get a profile made under one user visible to the

others?

With OL closed, you used the mail applet in the control panel to add

the
pst, set it as default and perhaps removed any other pst?
There are no rules set up in this profile/pst?

Thanks for your reply. It's helped some, but I've still got this

problem:
I have added the pst which is used under my user to the other

user,
but
this
does not, unfortunately, include the use of the Inbox. Each user

maintains
his/her own Inbox, which is again not what I want. How can I get

us
all to
use the same Inbox? or do I need to set Rules to ignore the

standard
Inbox
for incoming email?

If you are really wanting all users to share the same data you

have
to
set
OL to the same pst (data file)
Profiles are designed so that each user's data is seperate. It

would
appear
you only require a single profile

Each user on my computer ( 5 adminsitrators) has his/her own

inbox.
What
we
want is one common inbox for our family's e-mail. I can't seem

to
get
this
to
work under profiles. How do I do this in Outlook? I'm running

XP
Home
with
Office 2003.
