How to setup one email account on 2 PCs

[sparky76]

I have two computers in a wireless home network with Outlook 2000 on
both of them. One is my wife's PC and the other is mine. My wife's
computer is set up with her email account, calender, and contacts. Is
there any easy way to mirror that on the other computer? She
especially wants to be able to send email from Outlook when she's using
my PC. I tried setting up her email account on my PC, but then all of
her new incoming mail starts going to my PC, which we don't want to
happen. I also tried just setting up my PC to send email using her
address, but not to receive, but that just prompts an error message.

I'd really appreciate some help with this. Thanks

To be able to do a complete synchronisation You would need an Exchange
server or similar. But...

"Tools - Account - Properties - More settings" On the Advanced Tab there is
a checkbox where you can choose to leave all messages at the server. Then
she would still ba able to read them from Your PC, but they are still there
to be picked up with Your wifes PC shen she logs form that one.
