One way would be to go into Control Panel\Mail and create an Outlook profile
for each family member and configure their email account appropriately. On
opening Outlook 2007 the user selects his or her profile. This would not be
secure between family members.

I have just "upgraded" from Outlook Express to Outlook 2007.
Our family use individual email addresses on the lines of
. My Service Provider only provides one
network password for the surname account. My computer running XP Home
Edition
is set up with several user accounts. Outlook Express was configured by
means
of a simple rule to download mail only for the person logging in, all
other
mail was left on the server.
My problem is that if I cannot configure seperate passwords at server
level
so I need to configure Outlook with a similar to what was set up in
Outlook
Express because just now whoever downloads email from the server gets
everone
elses.
I doubt my ISP is unique in the way they organise email accounts but I
cannot find any information on how to create a rule from scratch to suit
my
circumstances.

Thanks for the reply John.
I have just tried this and have had some test emails sent to each user.
Unfortunately I have just received them all in my inbox.

Are you using an alias of the same mailbox? Are you using separate Windows logons?
