use Outlook in XP and win Mail at same time

I have outlook on my XP desk PC and Win Mail on laptop Vista can I use both
programs at same time. Open and read and send in both formats?

Usually. If this is a POP account, you'll need to enable the "Leave a copy
of messages on the server" option so both can download all messages.
Otherwise, the first computer to connect will get all the messages. You
also need to set one of the two (makes no difference which) to "Delete mail
from server after (xx) days". If you have an IMAP account, none of that
will be necessary since all mail is kept on the server and not downloaded.
