Hi!

Can anyone help me on this one.....?

I have two desktop PCs connected together in a wireless home network. Both
are running IE 6.0 under Windows XP Professional (which I believe are
totally up to date).

Is it possible for a user/identity combinatiion in OE to point to the same
data store from both PCs (I want people to see the same e-mails, newsgroups
when they log on to OE from either PC)? If so, can you please advise how?

My attempts so far seem to indicate that OE likes to have its data store on
any logical drive on a physical drive, but not across a network link (i.e.
on another physical drive) - but I could be doing the stuff wrong.....

Thanks for any help on this matter.....

Don't try it. You _will_ lose email. The way to do what you want "on the
cheap" is to set MSOE on both computers to leave messages on the POP3
server, then set only one of the MSOE applications to automatically delete
messages from the server that are over seven days old (or so).

I do it with a local IMAP server. I use Mercury/32:

I set up the "Mercury Distributing POP3 Client" to fetch all email from the
POP3 servers. This will be placed in a message store folder on the computer
running Mercury/32. Then I set up the "Mercury IMAP4 Server". Configure
MSOE on each computer with an IMAP email account, and use the computer
network name (or LAN IP address) as the IMAP server.
