I'm trying to set Outlook so that I can access my ISP and Hotmail accounts both through 98SE and XP Pro.

I have tried setting the storage folder to 98SE's default ( C:\windows\application data\identities\{long number}\microsoft\outlook express ) in XP's outlook, but when I do that, only XP can use it, while 98SE is left with nothing.

both O/S's are formatted in FAT32.

Any suggestions?

I'm assuming that you're dual booting here. Have you tried setting up a storage folder that both OS's can see and that's not native to either OS?

Never mind. I figured it out. ;)

I set outlook on 98SE to the default storage folder. Then I went into XP and changed the storage folder to that folder. Then I imported my messages from a backup I made before I fooled with all of this. Good thing too because when I changes the storage folder, it automatically cleared it of all my messages before I started using it.
