Sharing computer not securing e-mail mes

You should create seperate user profile for each user with the properties of that particular user set accordingly and each user be seperate mailbox file (.pst File) for each profile and even also seperate address book file (.pab). From your Query itis understood that you have not created seperate profiles or if you have created seperate profiles then you have the same pst file in both the profiles, which should not be that way. Create sperately profile and give different pst and pab files in the profiles.

In addition to the above annswer, since security is your concern (which I assume from the note), put a password protection on the Mailbox folder and the pst folder.
Navigation path for
a) Mailbox folder is Tools -->Services (If you go from MS outlook or Settings --> Control Panel --> Mail) and under Services --> Microsoft Exchange Server--> Propoerties--> Advanced--> Logon network Security-->None.
b)Personal Folder
Tools -->Services-->Personal Folder-->Propoerties-->Change Password.

Good luck!!

create the 2 diff profiles and have outlook prompt the user to select the profile for outlook to use when outlook is opened.

The solution depends on what OS your client is running, because of the way that profiles work.

1. If the client is running Win9x, then MS Outlook is going to default to the same Personal Folders for everyone, i.e. mail goes in a file called outlook.pst (I don't remember what the path is right now, I think it's %systemroot%/. You can verify this via the Menu Tools..Services, click Personal Folders, click Properties, and you'll see the file name and path. In this case, I recommend that you create a folder for each user who will use the PC, and set up a personalized mail file (userxyz.pst) in that user's folder. This will give each person his/her own e-mail folders. This will not prevent people from snooping -- for that you'll want NT or some other OS that offers directory-level or file-level security.

2. If the client is running NT 4.0 or higher, then the OS creates a new profile for each user, including a Personal folder at %systemroot%/Profiles/%username%/Personal which is a good place to put the user's PST file. Even in NT, Outlook will try to default to putting Personal Folders in %systemroot%/outlook.pst and all you have to do is to go into Tools..Services as described above and change it. Only that user (and an adminstrator) can access the
%systemroot%/Profiles/%username%/Personal folder, assuming you're using NTFS on that drive.

Please let me know if this doesn't help and I'll clarify it further.
