How can I share a common company mail account between multiple us.

[John Bevill]

We have a small business with 3 computers networked in a workgroup. We
used to use install Eudora 3.1 on each computer, put the eudora folder on a
share, and edit the registry entries for Eudora on both computers to point to
the shared application. This allowed any one of us to check and respond to
the mail and yet all see the same common mailboxes. (Obviously not at the
same time)
Our Eudora is obviously an outdated app. Can we do this with Outlook
Express or Outlook?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi John,

Can we do this with Outlook
Express or Outlook?

With Outlook Express, I think you can get a shared inbox:

For Outlook Email sharing, i think only with an IMAP account:
