microsoft mail on laptops

I have two laptops, one upstairs and one downstairs. We use a modem on our
desktop and a Netgear router to support the two laptops being wireless. They
are both new laptops. I have a comcast internet connection and use microsoft
mail (XP's version of Outlook Express). My question is. Is there a way
for our email to be delivered to the in box of both laptops? As it is now,
the emails are delivered to whichever logs on to MIcrosoft mail first. Make
sense? I would love to be able to have the mail go to both as I sometimes
read email upstairs and other times, downstairs.

Re: microsoft mail on laptops

In Windows Mail choose Tools > Accounts, click the account name, click
Properties, click the Advanced tab, there you can specify the amount of days
you like to have mail stored on the server so more than one computer will
have access to it.

I don't use Windows Mail, but I assume that it is has similar settings
to other E-mail programs. Go to Tools | Accounts (or whatever the
Windows Mail equivalent is) and look for a setting called something
like "Leave a copy of mail on server." Do that on both computers.

You will then have to periodically turn that setting off and download
all the mail to clear the server.
