Sharing Outlook Express

Where do I go to determine how to setup sharing OE between my desktop
and my laptop, both of which are connected to a DSL router?

You cannot do this. What you can do is to synchronize your mail
databases on both computers with a XCOPY batch file or a professional
data sync software. This would mean, that OE must be used on one of
the machines at a time only to avoid data loss.

Set both instances of OE to leave a copy of messages on the server,
deleting them after x number of days. the only downside to this is that
any messages SENT from either will not be replicated on the other unless
you use something like Hotmail.

Two useful links, both pages from the same (highly informative) website.
