Default two users, one outlook accout

I'm trying to help some friends...
They have a WINXP(home) computer and both use the same email, but log
onto the computer with different profiles. They are using outlook 2003.
Now, how do they setup their computer so they both access the same
Outlook profile (reading, downloading emails, etc) while logging onto
their own, seperate windows accout? Thank you for any assistance.

One idea is to locate the PST file in a shared directory accessible by both.
Then log-in to Outlook in each and point the PST file to this location.

I have never been a fan of two people sharing one account. I assume using
two accounts has been ruled out already for whatever the reason(s) may be,
correct?

Hi Rob,

2 ideas:
Share Outlook on the same PC:

Share an IMAP Account:
