Previously, we have tried sharing the storage folder of Windows Live Mail 2011 from User Profile A (original owner of the e-mail) to User Profile B (newly created common Windows user account for viewing the e-mail of User Profile
A) in a Windows 7 32-bit environment. The reason why we made another User Profile is because we want to avoid using the account of User Profile A to log in just to check up on e-mails so we decided to create a new Windows user account and share the storage folder of Windows Live mail from User Profile A.
We were able to make them view the same messages that User Profile A originally receives since they are sharing the same storage folder. The problem is that Windows Live Mail always asks for the password of the e-mail account every time User Profile B logs in open Windows Live Mail and after logging out and User Profile A start to log back in again and opens Windows Live
Mail, it will ask for the password again.
According to ¡Firedog "Sharing a store folder between Windows users won't really work, because the program is designed as a strictly per-user
application. In particular, passwords are encrypted using a key based on the user profile, so switching user account will switch key and the password won't work."
I want to know if it is possible to setup the same e-mail information in Windows Live Mail under two different user profile having two different storage folders but they will still be able to receive the same messages since they have the same e-mail address
and that they only have different storage folders. I just need the confirmation.
Thank you very much!
