Two e-mail programs simultaneously
 

I am using gmail for e-mail. I use the e-mail program Windows mail. But I now
have two computers. I would like to open my e-mails on the new computer too,
in a neat e-mail program. Outlook Express is pre installed so I want to use
that. The new computer (a netbook) operates with mobile broadband, they
stationary computer gets internet from cable.

Computer 1: (stationary)
Runs on broadband, Internet Explorer 8, Windows Vista, Windows mail

Computer 2 (netbook):
Runs on mobile internet, Internet Explorer 8, Windows XP, Outlook Express 6

I have configurated my e-mail account by just mirroring the settings from
computer 1 to computer 2. It doesn´t work. Possible to fix it?

Thankful for all help I can get.

Can you send from new computer? Once you're set up properly, you're going to
have to leave EMail on web server if you want access to the same mail.
Otherwise the message will be "gone" to the other unit.

I don't know of any ISP that will allow multiple simultaneous connections to
an e-mail account, which is basically what you're trying to do if I
understand correctly. It just makes sense, don't you think?

Whichever machine will be the first to read mail should leave mail on the
server rather than delete it. It can still be marked as "read" if you wish,
so you don't have to keep seeing it. Read e-mails are kept track of on your
computer, not at the ISP, so another computer or even another account on
your computer would still see the message as not read yet the first time it
was accessed.

One of the two machines could be delegated with the job of removing mail
from the server IF you want to do that. Personally, I just let the ISP age
them off their server on one machine, and the other deletes them after 30
days. As long as you don't remove a message from the server before the
other accounts/machines can get to it, it'll all go fine. It's sometimes
handy to be able to use a different account to read a message as new when
you manage to lose it or accidentally deleted it from your machine.

It what way doesn't it work?

By default using POP3 with Gmail, message will download to only on PC.
This is a Gmail "feature". To download messages to both, see
Gmail: Using POP on multiple clients or mobile devices
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...n&answer=47948

Another option with Gmail is to use IMAP. In this case the mail
programs mirror the web mail. Any changes made in either PC or the web
get reflected in the others next time you synch. This includes deleting
messages or moving between folders.
