i am having trouble setting up two users to share one computer for
their outlook emails. i get the first one set up fine but when the
user logs off the computer and the new user logs on the second user
cannot access his emails he gets the following error:
Unable to display the folder. could not access the specified folder
location.

The computer is using windows 98. the windows XP machines do not have
this problem.

I'm not convinced that Windows 98 handles multiple usernames as well as
Windows NT-based systems. Nonetheless, when you created the mail profiles
for each of these people, did you specify separate locations for the data
stores?

Hi
you can create a common pst file on c drive in a folder and make it the
default mail delivery loctaion on both users.But thats not recommended as
there is 100% fear of crashing your outlook pst and looisng you data.
Even if you do that make sure both users are not logged in at same time
accessing same time

The OP indicates from the description that this is what's happening
already - i.e., the PST is being shared and the second user doesn't have
permission to the PST file.
