Shared PST file in Outlook

[dk99]

Is there a way of sharing a PST file in Outlook between 2 users ??

Currently if one user is viewing it the other one can't unless the 1st one logs out.

Any ideas?

Thanx

There is no way of having one PST accessed by two users at the same time. One user will always need to have outlook closed.
This is to protect data integrety.

Kippy,

Can you think of another way to share mails over a network ? I need to move them from the network mail to a network drive so that the 2 users can use them without filling the mailbox ?

Thanx

Can you not set up the mailbox and give both users rights to access it? Of give them delegate rights on the mailbox?
Problem is it keeps the mail on the server.
Only other way would be to possibly ensure that only one person is accessing the PST at one time.......only ways I have ever come across.

Do the users have to share the exact same mail? Or can one user have a copy of the mail?

Basically one person is a PA and part of the role is to archive mails, so that the mailbox doesn't fill up.

The PA will archive them, but the manager will need to access them ?

Any Ideas?

Hi,
The only way that this can work is if the PA archives them at a certain time-when the manager cannot access the archives-then the PA removes the archives from her profile so the manager can access them.
Please understand it is only the archives that can only be accessed by one at a time, the inbox etc can be accessed by both.
