Default Inbox folder location

How can I change the location of the local folders in Outlook Express. I
would like to share the local folders with another user, so I would like to
put the folder in a location that can be accessed by both of us, ie - a
folder in c:\Mail

Default Inbox folder location

Windows version?

It's possible to share your entire store with other users of a WinXP
machine, but not just the inbox.

It's also possible for 2 or more users of an email address to be able to
access all incoming messages without sharing a store.

Default Inbox folder location

I upgraded to XP Professional. I was using XP Home before and had it working.
I can't figure out how to change where the mbx files are. When I go to
properties, it shows me where they are, but won't let me change it.

Thanks,

Joel

Open Outlook Express, click Tools/Options/Maintenance and then Store Folder
button to determine where the *DBX* files are located. MBX files were used
in Outlook Express 4. For info on moving it, see this link:

Default Inbox folder location

Tools Options Maintenance Store folder will reveal the location of
your current Identity's store
(http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain). Write it down.

In WindowsXP, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as
hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files
and Folders under Start Control Panel Folder Options View.

To share your store with another user (i.e., one who's using a separate User
Profile in WinXP), see
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_o..._share_address

It's also possible for 2 or more users of an email address to be able to
access all incoming messages without sharing a store.


If you'd like information on the above, let us know.
