119667 2003-02-09 08:54:00 We have XP home, operate different usernames and have one email address for our family. At present when one person downloads email, it is not available to other users. We would like to be able to move email messages between users, so for example I can move mail for my wife from my in box to her inbox.
How can we do this?
Thanks
James

-Options
-Maintenance
and then something like local save folder that you use to set where they're saved to!

What ISP? Paradise and IHug allow multple (up to 5) free mail boxes so that you can use seperate mail address for each person. Works a treat. I use it for my Mum's e-mail and she uses my login account through the DSL line.

Or as suggested get a different email address for each user.
