Outlook and POP3 help please

Author	Message
Rowena Pade #1 / 2	Outlook and POP3 help please I have just set up a group of users with a Windows 2000 workgroup. They are using Office 2000 with Outlook for their email. Their ISP allows unlimited multiple email addresses which I gather do not need to be notified to the ISP and so I set up an account on each computer in the workgroup to using their email address with a LAN connection (using internet connection sharing). They are now finding that whoever connects and does a Send/Receive from Outlook received ANY incoming mail messages regardless of who they are actually addressed to. My experience is mostly in a client/server environment with Exchange and I cannot see what is going wrong. I've looked at the Knowledge Base, but all the articles seem to describe the setting up of internet mail accounts just as I have done. Please, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks Rowena

Vince Averello [MVP-Outlook #2 / 2	Outlook and POP3 help please Sounds like you've got a single POP3 mailbox that collects all the mail items for a domain (I used to have one like that). Outlook won't work well with that sort of setup since it collects all the items in a mailbox. Check with your ISP if they allow multiple mailboxes Quote: > I have just set up a group of users with a Windows 2000 workgroup. They are > using Office 2000 with Outlook for their email.
