Vista - Accessing stored emails

01-02-2009

I am already running a desktop setup using XP, into which I have been using
Outlook Express to access my emails. I have bought a laptop for my wife to
use which uses Vista, and I have set this up using Windows Mail. In my XP
emails I have a lot of emails which my wife wants to access as they are for
her action, but the Vista email only brings up any new emails. I there a way
in which I can set up the laptop to read the emails which have already been
downloaded to my desktop system?
I am using a wireless router for both computers.

Many thanks

Not really. You'll have to copy the data from one machine to the other or
forward it all back to yourself.

How do I back up my files and settings?
