Sharing email

[tolgan]

Machine 1 is XP Home desktop with my email files as created by Outlook
express (i.e .DBX). I have now installed Outlook on it.

Machine 2 is a laptop with XP Home and Outlook (and Outlook Express).

The machines are connected on a local network via a wireless router to a
cable modem.

I want to be able to use either machine to do email, using the same mail
files which are stored on the destop. I have been advised that this is
inadvisable with OE, but that Outlook will handle it. How should I proceed?

Thanks in advance

Tolgan.
