Outlook Express [getting the same email on 2 computers]

Hello, I have my tower pc In one end of the house and my laptop In another and I would like to know what to check and look under to get both computers to get the sames e-mails( One goes to the laptop and the same one to the tower) from my provider. I used to be able to do It but somehow the settings have changed In my laptop. Its nice not to to have to keep checking BOTH computers for differant e-mails....Instead having the same ones sent to both. sounds confuseing but not. Thanks Snookie

 

Receive Outlook Express mail on more than one computer. This also works on Vista’s Mail.

If your ISP allows mail to be left on their server, it's a simple procedure . Open Outlook Express:
1. On all PCs:
Tools > Accounts > Mail [mail account(s)] > Properties > Advanced Tab > Delivery and put a check in ‘Leave a copy of messages on server‘.

2. On one PC:
Tools > Accounts > Mail [mail account(s)] > Properties > Advanced Tab > Delivery and select ‘Remove from server after XX days’ (choose as appropriate)

3. Optional on one PC (if you delete mail when closing the program on Tools > Options > Maintenance Tab):
Tools > Accounts > Mail [mail account(s)] > Properties > Advanced Tab > Delivery and put a check in ‘Remove from server when deleted from Deleted Items‘.

4. Send an email to yourself to check that it's working on all machines.
