This is from an old post by Norman Miller:
Set up an IMAP server on one of the computers. I use Mercury Mail:

Use the computer which is mostly always on; it will have to be on for the
times when you access the other computer. Set up the Mercury Mail POP3
Distributing client to fetch your email from your POP3 servers. They will
be kept on the disk of the computer running Mercury Mail. Set up the
Mercury Mail IMAP4 server. Log in from whichever computer you are on using
your favorite IMAP capable email program; MS Outlook Express works just
fine this way. None of the other modules need to be selected.

I work in IT support and have a number of sites where we run Outlook
Express
in a multi user environment. Recently I am finding that the Inbox has
emptied
for no apparent reason. We have tried using OE only on the server, we have
disabled our Anti virus from scanning e-mails (this is covered by our mail
server), we are keeping on top of housekeeping. I can recover the messages
by
using DBXtract and all is well until a few days later and the same thing
happens. The users are getting fed up with this and I find that the
majority
of my time is spent recovering mail that was there "a few minutes ago".

Does anyone else suffer from this problem?

Any ideas on how I can stop this from happening? I will be very grateful
for
any advice.
