| Guest | 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. |

| Guest | 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. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "petro" <petro@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E909E2C4-624D-4010-A6E9-81A0FF528F38@xxxxxx Quote: >I have two laptops, one upstairs and one downstairs.

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. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
