    MyDocuments shows you the files for the currently logged in user, so of course you can't see the other persons files. You have to open either C:\Documents and Settings (Win XP and below) or C:\Users (Vista and above) to see the other persons files. You then right-click the folder/files you want, click Properties, Security Tab, Advanced button, Owner tab. Then you can click on Take Ownership.

        Mail? Depends on the system. If it's something like Yahoo, GMail, Hotmail, ... no. If it's your own internal email system, then you're going to have to consult the documentation on it.

            How about Exchange Server. If you don't have an Exchange Server running, then you're using web emails, in which case, you're S-O-L.

                Shit Outta Luck If all his email was a personal, web-based, account on Yahoo, GMail, Hotmail, and some other service like that, you won't be able to recover it since those services will not grant you access to it.

                      Then you're going to have to find it and get the documentation on it. Without knowing what you have, it's impossible for me to help any further.

                            Hi, Outlook is not a mail server ; Outlook is the mail client that connects to the server and fetch messages. If you want to know which server Outlook uses, you have to go to the account's properties to see how it is configured. It can be Exchange Server ; in that case you can reconnect a mailbox, whose original user has been deleted, to another user (this one must not have a mailbox already). It can be a POP3 or IMAP account stored on a local server, or hosted by a provider. But the best way to collect useful data about your mail system would be to ask the one that set it up, or, if he/she's not working there anymore, to read the documentation he must have left. I kindly suggest you to study the mail system of the company you're working for very seriously before attempting to have any action on it ;)
