    Does anybody know if MS Outlook is networkable? Even in a limited manner? Share address book for example?

    Thanks

    What exactly do you mean by "networkable "? AFAIK, there is no way to share Contacts without a third party utility such as Dencom's Global Address Book.

    Outlook Express 5 certainly can be shared over a network if you mean having more than one user look at the same email boxes (Inbox etc) but I don't think the Contact list.
    First set all users up with the same Account details so each user will send/receive mail to the same ISP located mail account. Make sure there is only only Identity for each user. Then use Regedit to edit the entry in HKEY_Current_User\Identities\{long number of identity-varies]\Software\Micxrosoft\Outlook Express\5.0 for Store Root so that it reads a common location viewable by all users. The only problem with this is that Outlook may occassionally create a new Inbox, Sent Items etc and rename the files in the shared directory. Don't know why this happens but I have a post in the Internet Explorer/Outlook area (where this should be!) to see if someone can help on that.
