I had a previous setup in Windows 98SE with Outlook Express 6.0 switching 2 user account with 2 Pop3 account. Is it possible in Windows 2000 with outlook 2000. What I want to do is to keep 2 pop3 user account seperate with seperate INBOX and address book.

THANKS
 
If you have 2 seperate Windows 2000 users, they should have completely different Outlook stores.

Or are both real users using the same Windows 2000 account?
 
One Windows 2000 account with 2 Different ISP.
 
In that case, open OE and have a look at: File, Identities, Manage Identities. After creaing a second identity, make sure to deselect 'Use this identity when starting....'. That will cause the user to get asked for an identity.

Please be aware, that this really isn't that secure. More secure would be to have seperate Windows 2000 accounts.
 
does it work with Outlook express in Windows 2000 Pro.
 
Yes, in my post above, "OE" is my shorthand for "Outlook Express
 
Thanks I will try again
