Hello,
I have two computers and they both have outlook express 6 on them. I have the exact same email for both of them. I want to fix the following problem. When I receive an email on one of the computers I don't recevie that email on the other computer. It all depends on who opens outlook express first. So I want to be able to get all the email on both computers. Hope you understand my problem. Thanks! |

On both machines: Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. Check:
Leave a copy of messages on the server. On one machine, check: Delete after x days. The shortest period of time that is convenient for you to keep the server from getting clogged up with your mail. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Castlehawk" wrote in message ...

Open Outlook Express | 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" | click OK. 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.
