Receiving to same account on two computers

[jim]

Hi,

Can anyone give me the easiest/best/most effective way to
send and receive emails from two networked computers
using the same account/identity in Outlook Express.

The problem is that when i receive the messages on one of
my computers and go to check on the other computer the
emails do not appear in the inbox due to them already on
the previous computer.

I am running WinXP and Outlook Express

Thanks for any help
Jim

You'd have to set up one or both computers not to delete messages from the
server when downloading. This will eventually cause problems as your mailbox
will get full and start to reject mail if the mailbox isn't emptied.

Also note - This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of
programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:

Set each mail server to keep a copy on the server.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?
icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
