Set up an IMAP server on one of the computers. I use Mercury Mail:

Use the computer which is mostly always on; it will have to be on for the
times when you access the other computer. Set up the Mercury Mail POP3
Distributing client to fetch your email from your POP3 servers. They will
be kept on the disk of the computer running Mercury Mail. Set up the
Mercury Mail IMAP4 server. Log in from whichever computer you are on using
your favorite IMAP capable email program; MS Outlook Express works just
fine this way. None of the other modules need to be selected.

Hi and thanks for all the help.
Whilst I will use your advise and setup rules as explained in the interim,
I was hoping for a system that did not utilise leaving the message on the
server.
Although I know one can not have everything I was looking for a system
/add-on/ whatever that would still download all the mail and then, via the
LAN, redirect the mail to the other users unit (their inbox folder within
OE)

Thanks again for you help and time

Easiest way:

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. On all the machines,
check: Leave a copy of messages on the server. Each person can download
the same mail now. Make sure to also check to Delete after X days, or the
server will eventually get choked up.

Hi,
We have 3 computers on a LAN (all connect to ISP via ADSL). Any one of
us can and does open Outlook Express on their unit and download the
emails.
We have only one account i.e. . At present we redirect
the mail to each other by " File/Save as" to a directory on the
appropriate machine. Problem is some of us forget to do this and others
forget to check their "directory" for mail .

1)Is it possible to redirect the email to that machines Express folders
inbox.

2) Although we all use the same email address all emails sent to us has
a different subject line i.e. Tom , Dick or Harry. Could Express
redirect to the correct machines inbox using the subject line as a
"Rule"

3) We can give each user their own alias.. Is it possible to do 1 and/or
2 above using the alias.

I heard there was an OE add-on as well as a way to make each machine to
be a mini server. ?


Thanks for any help

Tom
