Default moving messages folders to share?

You can have all users/PCs download all message from a POP3 mail server by
selecting Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced, Leave a copy of
messages on the server in all users/PCs. One or more of the users/PCs
should be set to delete messages from the server after a few days or else
the server mail account will eventually fill. However, Sent messages will
only be saved on the sending user/PC.

If your ISP offers IMAP mail server access, that is the way to go. IMAP
is designed for a single mail account to be shared by multiple PCs. The
IMAP mail is managed at the mail server.

If your ISP doesn't provide IMAP support, an option is to run your own
local mail server that accesses the ISP via POP3 and then provides IMAP
support to your local PCs. For an example of such a program, see:
Mercury Mail Transport System

Is there any way to have OE message folders located on a share so that
two
PCs (via wifi) can use the same message store?
