Simply set up your Mail / News accounts in WM as they are in set up in OE, with one additional step, you need to "leave a copy of each mail on the server" so that they are available to both of your machines. Do the following on BOTH machines, OE & WM, Tools>accounts>select your account>properties>advanced tab, also set a number of days to delete so that your online mail box does not overfill. If you wish to transfer existing mail from OE to WM See Importing from Outlook Express http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx -- Regards Steve. MS-MVP. OE. [DTS] UK |

Microsoft's new email program, Windows Live Mail, will run under Vista, and, I believe, under XP also. http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview |
