Default How do you transfer emails from one computer to the other?

Hi Mark,

The secret is to leave mail messages on the server so each computer can
retrieve them.

The default setting when creating a mail account is to have Outlook Express
acquire mail from the server then delete the mail from the server.

I have changed my setting on each computer to acquire mail from the server,
but do not delete from server unless they are five days old. This setting
allows each computer access to the mail on the server, delete after five
days keeps the sever from building up to many mail messages and exceeding
your allowed store size.

You will find the setting, Tools | Accounts | select your mail account |
Properties | Advance tab | under Delivery, check "Leave a copy of messages
on server", also check "Remove from server after 5 days"

| Hi Em15,
|
| Both computers can receive the same email from your account.
|
| I have a computer at the office and one at home, by leaving email
messages
| on the server, each receives the same email when selecting Send/Receive.
|
| I setup the email account the same for each computer.
|
| If you want more info on how to do this, post back
