Corporate/Workgroup mode

[cosmicmiami]

I have two users on my computer. If I change one user account to
corporate/workgroup mode, does it also change the other user to the
same? I would like to have POP3 for one userand corporate/workgroup
for another.

Please advise and thank you.

Clarify what you want to do, your Outlook version and what you mean by "user
account." Outlook has not used separate modes for nearly 10 years.

Outlook 2002 SP3.

I have two users on my computer, i.e. two "accounts". If I want to go
to another user, I must Start|Log Off|Click user icon, to log on to
the other user "account." This is found in Control Panel|User
Accounts, (using WinXP Home).

I use a VPN from home to access the work intranet. That's why I have
two user accounts. I have an exchange server at work I would like to
access from home using Outlook. When I open Outlook from the work
"user account" and attempt to add the work email account, I'm told I
must be using Corporate/Workgroup mode and must add the email account
from Control Panel|Mail.

Thx.

It might be helpful to include the version of Outlook you're using.

Check your facts, please. Outlook 2002 has no such thing as
"Corporate/Workgroup mode" and could not possibly give such an error
message.
Why does using VPN require you to have a separate Windows logon account?

To answer this specific question, yes, if you have two windows accounts and
a version of Outlook that supports corp or imo mode, each account will use
the same Outlook mode.
