sharing email across network - how?
Is there any way to view the Outlook Express e-mail files (*.dbx) on one
computer from another inbox, outbox, etc.? I basically want to set up one common email account that can be used from either computer. I tried setting Share permission on the folder where the .DBX files are. And I tried setting the new Identity, and changing the Store Location (via the Maintenance tab), the OK button doesn't light up to allow it to be selected. The "source" .DBX files are on an XP machine using OE6. I want to view and access them from my WinME with OE55. The WinME is configured as ICS Host providing the Dialup Internet share. |

OE cannot be set up to use shared fodders.

It can't be done natively with MS Outlook Express. It can be done with a local IMAP server. I use Mercury/32: http://www.pmail.com/overviews/ovw_mercury.htm As a minimum, you would set up the "Mercury Distributing POP3 Client", and the "Mercury IMAP4 Server". Set this up on the computer which will be always on. Set up an IMAP account in MS Outlook Express on each computer. Don't execute a POP3 fetch with either installation of MSOE; let Mercury/32 handle the POP3 fetch; it will put the email messages in a central file location which each MSOE client can then access. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

As others have said, there's no way to share Outlook Express storage between two computers. To view and store future incoming E-mail messages on both computers: 1. Set up the same E-mail account on each computer. 2. Configure the account to leave a copy of messages on the server. In Outlook Express, that setting is in the Advanced tab of the account's properties. 3. Choose one of the "Remove" options to prevent messages from staying on the server indefinitely. If you upgraded to OE6 on WinME, you could copy existing OE folders from one computer to the other and import the messages that the folders contain. Unfortunately, it's a very complicated process. To get an idea of what's involved, go to http://www.insideoe.com and browse through the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions).

If so, I'll post them in a future reply. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
