Just a guess, but, I think that you may have your OE on the second machine
set to automatically check for email and download it if there. If that is the case, then it would have the mail from the server and it would not be available to the other machine. In the case of the Yahoo! mail, if I am not mistaken, this is a Web based mail server and even though you read the mail, it remains on the server unless you specifically delete it and, even then, it remains in the "trash" folder until you clean that out. I think Noel, Mike or both, kinda covered that. Basically, with the Yahoo! mail, you are simply 'reading' the mail on the server....the other mail is actually being downloaded off of the server. Does that make sense?......I know I am confused! Heirloom, old and speculating "webster72n" wrote in message ... The issue is, that my email for Outlook Express for the most part gets delivered to my backup pc, when I expect to find the same thing in both computers, since they both have the same version of Outlook Express (5.0) or, at least in my main computer with Windows ME, because I do all of my business there. This is the case when it comes to News Groups, but not with my personal mail. Could it be because I changed my my ID not too long ago? Or is it just a matter of configuration? What are your thoughts on that, heirloom? Harry. "heirloom" wrote in message ... I'm not sure that I understand your issue with the email......are you using two different addresses? My picture of the situation is that you would fire up your Me machine and simply download your email........I am sure I must be missing something. Please expound...... Heirloom, old and glad I only have one to contend with "webster72n" wrote in message ... heirloom, My problem was solved a lot easier than thought. I went to IESetup and chose to install Outlook Express. It told me that all necessary components were already installed and whether I wanted to reinstall anyway. Of course I answered "yes" to that and - low and behold - after automatic reboot I tried Outlook Express and it worked just fine again. Hope to remember this time and maybe even help sombody else in trouble. There is just one more thing: I am running these two computers with the same Outlook Express version, but Windows ME on my main and windows 98 on my backup computer. But most of my eimail in Outlook Express goes to my backup pc, which I don't like. Is there a way to fix this? Or should I post this as a new subject? Let me know, please. Thanks. Harry.

Harry, are you using one of those programs which allow you to view webmail through OE ? They're sortof flaky and don't give full Mail program functionality. |

Noel, how can I go wrong with all this help?
Thank you so very much. Harry "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... When the PC (the client) is shut down - nothing happens! When you fire it up and open OE, OE goes and searches your accounts, and downloads the emails from your ISP/mail host (the server), and (usually) deletes the emails from the server.

Harry,
I just hope my post made some sense and you understood what I was trying to say. I have a number of networked PCs here (4 plus laptop) and my daughters two at their apartment. All three of us have our mail accounts set up on all of these PCs but each has one PC that we have designated as our master PC. This means that any of us can collect and read new mail at which ever of the various PCs we are using but for each of us there is one PC that has all of our mail. The only problem is the occasion when one is using a PC other than one's own "master" and one wants to check an old e-mail and it isn't on the machine one is using but at least we always know which machine will definitely have all of our respective e-mails. BTYW when configuring a mail account in Outlook Express by default it is set to remove mail from server. Regards, -- Mike M webster72n wrote: Mike, what would I do without you. Not to minimize what heirloom, Noel and Rick are contibuting, but you have a way of detailing the situation, so that it can be easily understood and followed. It will be clear sailing from here on in with my OE. |

In the case of the Yahoo! mail, if I am not mistaken, this is a Web based mail server and even though you read the mail, it remains on the server unless you specifically delete it and, even then, it remains in the "trash" folder until you clean that out. I think Noel, Mike or both, kinda covered that. Basically, with the Yahoo! mail, you are simply 'reading' the mail on the server....the other mail is actually being downloaded off of the server. Does that make sense?......I know I am confused! Heirloom, old and speculating me 2, I use Yahoo web-based mail service... my mail stays there on their server and every once in awhile I look at it. Any "copies" that I have are just webpages in my browser-cache (which eventually gets flushed). That's why, after awhile, you get a warning that you're using up too much space. OTOH, when you use OE, the mail-server you use deletes the stuff on their end after OE picks it up (which is what you said, Heirloom). Harry, are you using one of those programs which allow you to view webmail through OE ? They're sortof flaky and don't give full Mail program functionality. No Rick, I don't, but I think that I have it figured out with everyone's help. It is what I suspected it it to be, a matter of configuration, if I am putting this correctly. When I set up my backup's OE I must have done what Mike explained, let it 'remove post from server', without thinking of the consequences. Now I will be able to fix this situation 'in a hurry'. Thank you for your concern, Rick. Harry. Well, hope you got it worked out. Rick |
