I have a computer upstairs and one downstairs. I would like to be able to
access my emails from either computer. Is this possible and what do I need
to do?

MS Outlook Express is not a networking mail client. Their are two ways that
I know of to handle this. The first is to set MSOE on each computer to
leave messages on the server, then set MSOE on only one of the computers to
delete messages from the server which are over 'N' days old; seven days is
usually sufficient. The second is to set up an IMAP account, if your mail
provider allows it. If not, you _could_ sign up for AIM Mail and set both
computers to access the account. Whichever computer downloads the email,
move/copy the messages to the AIM Mail folders, which will put them on the
AIM Mail server. After that they will be available from both computers. Or,
you could set up the IMAP server locally with an application such as
Mercury/32.
