My husband and I have Windows XP and Outlook Express 6. We have one email
address from our ISP and can both send and receive email when logged on with
either profile. The trouble is that he can only view emails sent/received on
his profile and I can only view emails sent/received on my profile. I am not
computer-savvy so I might need some walking through to set up our inbox so
that we can both see all messages sent and received through outlook express,
regardless of which profile they were sent from. Anyone up for helping?
Thanks!

Are you are using two different Windows Welcome Screen logons, or two
Outlook Express logons?

I'm not sure exactly how you are set up, but you probably want to do this.

In both profiles:

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: Leave a copy of
messages on the server.

On one profile, check to Delete messages after X days to assure the server
does not get clogged up.

Thanks Bruce, That seems to have done the trick! (At least for incoming
mail.) Honestly, I really appreciate it because I haven't had a chance to try
to figure it out and the Help function on Outlook itself wasn't getting me
where I wanted to be.

Thanks again!!!

You're welcome. As far as sending, those messages will always be in the Sent
Items folder for the identity that sent them.
