Hi!
Can anyone help me on this one.....?
I have two desktop PCs connected together in a wireless home network.
Both are running IE 6.0 under Windows XP Professional (which I
believe are totally up to date).
Is it possible for a user/identity combinatiion in OE to point to the
same data store from both PCs (I want people to see the same e-mails,
newsgroups when they log on to OE from either PC)? If so, can you
please advise how?
My attempts so far seem to indicate that OE likes to have its data
store on any logical drive on a physical drive, but not across a
network link (i.e. on another physical drive) - but I could be doing
the stuff wrong.....
Thanks for any help on this matter.....

These days most mail accounts can also be accessed by IMAP. you could try
setting up an OE account using the same user name, password and servers.
IMAP accounts keep messages on the server until you delete them.
Considering that AOL probably has the most users, I guess that would be
right. AOL mail, AIM Mail, and Netscape Mail all use IMAP. CompuServe 2000
may, but CompuServe Classic does not. MSN does not use IMAP. Nor does
Yahoo!, or such ISPs as AT&T (formerly SBC), Bellsouth, Comcast, and
Verizon.
So, out of that list of providers, "most" isn't quite accurate.
