Mail Accounts

[donniep75]

I have set up separate accounts for my wife and myself on my Vista desktop.
All of my e-mail comes to me in Windows mail. All of my wife's mail goes to
our laptop - where we both have the same e-mail addresses - which is running
XP Professional and Outlook Express. How can I get her mail to come to the
desktop, and then arrange for our mail to go back to the laptop when we are
traveling?
I've been wrestling with this for months, now.
Any help really appreciated.

With POP accounts, all you can do is ensure that both computers
receive all incoming emails for both accounts.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Advanced,
select "Leave a copy of messages on server."
Repeat the above on the second computer.

True syncing of all mail folders can only be achieved with a HTTP
or IMAP account.
