Split your identities

With the shared resources features of Outlook Express 5.0, you can now comfortably let other people use your computer. Each user can set up a separate address book, inbox, and folders -- just as if he or she were using a separate computer.

He or she simply creates his/her own "identity" with Outlook Express, and then selects this identity to gain access to the personal address book, etc. There's even an address book for shared contacts.

To set up Outlook Express for multiple users:

  1. From Outlook Express, click the File menu.
  2. Click Identities, and then select Add New Identity.
  3. Enter the name of the additional user, repeating as necessary for all users.
  4. From the resulting list, choose a name that has priority. This is the name the computer will use by default.
  5. Choose a name for the Start Up Using feature.
