Multiple user accounts

[appeng]

I am running Windows XP Pro and Outlook 2000.
This is for home use and thus I am the IT world (which is not saying much
-LOL)

For Windows, I have 6 users accounts established.
For example Dad (Administrator), mom, son, daughter, etc.

Each user has a separate e-mail address (for example (e-mail address removed),
(e-mail address removed), etc.).
I know how to set up each user with their own outlook mail box when they are
logged on. At least I think I do.

Because each user does not always logon regularly, we want to share some of
the mail folders. This is what I am looking for help with,

For example, each user will be able to access their own e-mail, however when
dad logs on he can receive / read / print / delete / etc., for both the dad
and the mom account. When mom signs on she would be able to receive / read /
print / delete / etc., any of the mail in only the mom account.

Once that is established how can we share the contact list?

If Dad, as Administrator, wishes to see Mom's messages, in Outlook Dad can
click File>Open>Personal Folders File and browse to C:\Documents and
Settings\momsaccount\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook,
select Mom's PST, and click OK. Obviously, Mom won't be able to do this
with Dad's PST if Mom's account is a Limited account, unless Dad gives Mom
permission.

Once that is established how can we share the contact list?

That's harder. http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm has some ideas.

Another approach, however, would involve everyone sharing one PST in, say,
Shared Documents\Outlook, and having the master Contacts folder in that PST.
It doesn't have to be the delivery location in order to be enabled as an
Address Book, so everyone could use that Contacts folder as well as having
his or her own.

Unclear? Ask away.
