two accounts in xp

[ghbt]

hi, have set up two user accounts in xp call them a and b.

i have carefully set up the same email address in both accounts configured
in OE.

when i use account a and send an email to both a and b, it comes back to
account 'a' alright. But it does not come into acount b. should it do so?

thanks for any advice.

If they have the same address how do you send an email to both a and b?

I think that the answer to your question is nope, because after it it
retrieved by account a it is deleted from the mail server, so when you try
to retrieve it by account b it is no longer there.

Cross posting as much as you did is probably not good practice....

Only if you instruct your e-mail client to leave messages on the server,
otherwise as soon as you read it on account A this will delete it from
the server and it won't be available to download into account B.
