On the other's machine, go to Tools>Options go to the Delegates tab. Add yourself as a delegate. Now on your machine go to File>Open Others folder. Enter their name and choose the Inbox.

Are you using Exchange as your server? The delegate tab will only appear in the Outlook Corporate/Workgroup mode - which is for Exchange Messaging solutions.

If you are using POP3 then there is no way of effectively doing this from the client side. It may be done from the server, but it depends on what is bein gused for the messaging server.

If all the answers already given don?t work the solution might be to use web mail. It looks clumsy. However, it is very efficient to see messages without removing and probably the only solution if people are not on the same [Exchange] server. So in that case you would not use outlook but your browser. However, not all ISPs would offer this opportunity and as soon as the other person has downloaded the messages, normally everything would be removed from the ISP server.
Good luck.

If you are using Exchange Server, right-click on the user's Inbox, select Properties, and then go to the Permissions tab. Add yourself as a Reviewer. Then when you want to access the user's Inbox, go to File, Open Other User's Folder, and type in the user's name and choose "Inbox". If you aren't using Exchange, I don't know what to tell you. Good luck!
