If you are transferring to another PC, and have access to a Windows XP setup
CD, or if both computers are running Windows XP, see:

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

Can you tell how to do this. I want to be able to view the same emails at
work and at the house.

Thanks

Go to Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and check the box that
says to leave a copy of the mail on the server. On one of the machines make
sure you set it to remove the message after a number of days, so the server
doesn't get clogged up.

For things like the sent items, you can use the method in the last paragraph
on this page to import individual dbx files (or swap them)
www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx or my OEX program allows you to import from
other machines or from backup CDs www.oehelp.com/OEX/

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"
