outlook login authenticate

[chriskaza81]

hello,

is there any way when outlook client opens a login promt will show up so each user who desires to enter to his mail account needs to be authenticated in exchange .

my purpose is somehow getting multiple inboxes from a single installation of outlook 2007. i mean many users can access their mail account from one pc

i am wondering if i can maybe do it with add-in or maybe there are other solutions .



please help!!

You will have to create separate accounts in windows..


There IS a way to ask for the username/password in outlook, but I never tested that, so I don't know or it will work.. I am pretty sure though that it won't, since it's in the settings of the e-mail account....

What you will need to do is change one setting in your mail preferences window.

How to get to my mail profiles and account preferences window:

1. From your windows operating system, Select the Start menu.
2. Control panel
3. The Mail Icon. note; the mail icon may not e visible in non classic view.
4. Under Show profiles, Select the radial button nest to " Prompt for a profile to be used".

That's it. Note: Each user must have their own profile and account created before they can access their account in Outlook.

Hope this helps.

thank you for your solutions ,

but can i somehow do it programmatically using add-in so when a user opens an outlook client a login promt will show up so he will forced to be authenticated in exchange and somehow load his pst from his profile

Im not aware of any outlook ad-in that will accomplish this for you. Remember if each user has a profile on this local machine, each time the load there profile all data located on the server will open. This means their local .OST file can be accessed.

Here are some sites that have outlook add-ins:
