How do I access my WLM from another PC.

Hi,

I cant access my email acct via Windows Live Mail.

I have added 2 email accounts on WLM ( none of which are Hotmail ), yet when
i access WLM from another PC, it does not allow me to access my email
accounts and asks only for my Hotmail acct. Why is this?

My main email acct is ntl.com address and the other is Google.

I don't know what "it does not allow me" means.
Do you get an error message when you try? If so, what is the complete
error message?

Re: How do I access my WLM from another PC.

I mean - that when i access WLM from another PC - it does not give me the
option to access my "other" Inbox's.

It states "you have not created a "hotmail" inbox yet.

Or do i need to set up a Hotmail acct first - then access via there??

???

WLM is a program. You don't access it from another computer.

Do you mean Live Hotmail?

Re: How do I access my WLM from another PC.

Each pc with WLM requires one to setup an email account(http[hotmail], pop3, or imap).

If the same Hotmail account[s](hotmail.com, live.com or msn.com) are setup in WLM one each pc then each pc with WLM will have
access to those Hotmail accounts web folders found at mail.live.com

A non Hotmail account will not have access to anything but that account's server Inbox. If pop3, then messages must be left on the
server to retrieve the messages on a different pc. No sync occurs between the WLM clients on separate machines.

The only way to access Windows Live Mail from another computer is to run a
remote desktop on the other computer, and connect to it directly.
