How do I share the inbox between 2 users?

[Peter Middlehurst]

I have recently had to re-install Windows XP and Office XP. I have two users
set up. I used to have Outlook set up so that both users accessed the same
mailbox. I can't remenber how to do it. Can anybody help?

Hi Peter,

In Active Directory Users and Computers, open the first user's account.
Click "Exchange Advanced", Mailbox rights. Add the second user. Give
"Read" and "Full Mailbox Access". Wait 15 minutes for everything to update.
Open outlook on the second users PC and setup a profile using the first
users alias. You can also use a distribution list instead of a user. I
prefer that because then I can easily add or remove the user from the DL
instead of modifying the account. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I have in fact solved this some while ago - I can't
remember how. I am not on a network. I have two users on a single PC running
Windows XP Home.
