Using Outlook Express from 2 computers on LAN
 

I keep OE6 on my primary computer but I'd like to be able to access my email from a secondary
computer but have all email downloaded stay in the original file on the primary computer. I don't
want mail divided between two computers. How can I set this up?

If both computers are using the same e-mail address, on both machines:

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: Leave a copy of
messages on the server.

On one machine, check to Delete messages after X days to assure the server
does not get clogged up.

OE is not designed for such use. See
http://www.insideoe.com/faqs/why.htm#network

However, you can configure OE as posted here and accomplish just about the
same thing:

If your ISP offers IMAP mail server access, that is the way to go. IMAP
is designed for a single mail account to be shared by multiple PCs. The
IMAP mail is managed at the mail server.

If your ISP doesn't provide IMAP support, an option is to run your own
local mail server that accesses the ISP via POP3 and then provides IMAP
support to your local PCs. For examples of such a programs, see:
