I'm trying to help a friend setup their small home office in which
they have a PC with Windows XP home and a laptop with Windows 2000.
The laptop is connected to the PC through a router and network
cables. The PC connects to the internet via Dial-Up.
They only want one location for the e-mail message that both the PC
and laptop can access so that there is no problem with synchronizing
e-mail's between the PC and laptop.
Is there a way to do this?
With Outlook Express? Not that I know of - unless they copy the OE store
files back and forth, and I'm not sure it will work. With Outlook, see
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm and
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm.
Note that this is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of
programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..
You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.
Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh
If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).
If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.
A good website for information on OE is:
