You *did* make it clear, perfectly clear. The funny thing was that
meanwhile our thoughts were going in the same direction, but since I
am not used to writing into the registry I was about to look up previous
postings on the subject. You were far ahead of me.

I need to check whether TB writes so much to the registry that needs
cross-user access. I'll set up all users, implement the basic filters,
set their address books to all use the same file and that might be
sufficient (said she, praying to The Bat, o thy swan of the night!).

It's quite a hassle. Basically, users may *not* write to their registry,
so updates such as this are a bit cumbersome.
What I did was this:
- as NT administrator, set up user accounts in TB, and set their
folders in directories that only the respective user can read;
- export the TB keys from the registry
- make user A administrator
- log on as NT user A and update his registry
- log on as NT administrator
- make user A a user again.
This procedure has to be applied to each user.
After this I checked how user permissions would work. Being userA
(by now deprived of his NT admin rights) I started TB as userA.
Excellent: all I could see was userA's mail (and the shared mail).
Then I tried to log in as userB and got lots of errors about not
being able to read mailboxes. Ha. NT had kicked in and, being userA,
it disallowed me to see userB's mailboxes. I could only see the
account name, nothing more.
The number of error messages that you get is proportional to the
number of mailboxes; which will surely dissuade people from trying
to use other people's TB accounts.

purr, purr ....
(that's me expressing my primitive thanks to Januk)
