Same email account with multiple users

[tjones100]

I have set up an email server at work and want different users to be able to access the same outlook express enquiries@domaim account using their own login name on the network. Windows 2000 with XP pro workstations. Any help would be welcome.

If you are using Outlook 2000 try this, Go to Tools, Options, Delegates. You can add users from just about any type of list or server here.

You can also go to Tools, Service and create a Personal Address Book for each person or Group you want to have access to the files on the mail server.

Let me know if this helps.

I am using Outlook express for the email client and this doesn't have that option.
About four different users may log onto the XP PC that is to used for an enquiries@ email account. If I set up outlook for an individual user using the enquiries email account, then each user will only be able to read new emails and not ones that have already been read.

Why not just have the server deliver a copy of each incoming message to each authorized recipient's own email box?

Just set up each user's OE, to access that mail account. For each user's mail account, go to Tools, Account, enquiries account name, Properties button, Advanced tab, check 'Leave a copy of messages on the server'.

This will allow all users to download the same messages from this account. Now you have to decide how you will get the messages off the server. I recommend that you you set all the accounts to remove the messages from the server within some reasonable time frame - 3 to 5 days maybe? This needs to be long enough after the first user accesses the new messages to allow the last user to access these messages before they are removed. If you set this time too long, depending on usage, the mailbox capacity may be exceeded before the messages get removed.
