Networking E-mail Access

Hi,
We just set up Home Networking with Windows XP Home on the main computer and Windows 98SE on the second computer.
We have IE 6 and OE 6 on both computers.

Is it possible to view all e-mail folders on both computers?

If so, how would this be set up.

last evening we received a couple of e-mails on the second computer but they did not show up on the main computer.

We have a hotmail e-mail account & I believe it is working with the same folder displays on both computers.

Thanks

 

OE does not understand 'shared folders' like Outlook does nor could I find a way to just redirect a copy to another PC.

The only work-around I could find involves setting up mail rules on both PCs that forward a copy of all new mail to another email address.

There may be a more elegant solution with OE but none that I can see.

If you have the option to leave a copy of email on the server, that would do the trick for you as well but I don't use hotmail so have no idea.

 

Hi Newt,
Thanks for the reply.
I was trying different things earlier today and tried the "leave a copy on the server" and that appears to be the solution to my problem.

Thanks again
