| 39781 | 2002-03-19 12:24:00 | Well, I have set up a PC for some friends, Windows XP Professional - I have not used Xp too much, and have not had a chance to look at the following issue: How can you make XP send email to both users when one user downloads it from the server? There are two users, and while they enjoy benefits of having particular items split, when one downloads email, the other user would also like it to appear in their inbox too!! Or must a single user be set up to do this? Cheers!@! |

It may require a bit more than this though, I'm not sure. It might require setting up specific profiles in OE so that you use the same OE profile on either XP account. Sorry I can't go into any more detail than this - I don't have OE installed on my machine, so I can't check it all out. I hope this sheds a little light on the idea. Mike. |

| 39783 | 2002-03-19 19:31:00 | Assuming I understand your ? right, in Outlook Express, open the message, click on Message, then Create Rule from Message, if you were to remove the default option which is Where the Senders Address is and replace it with,Where the To or CC line contains this name, then go to the second window and click Send a Copy to, that way any mail addressed to you will also send a copy to the other persons folder. You will also need to create a couple of new folders in Outlook and name them to suit, one for you, one for the other person, that way a copy each will be flicked to each folder. Hope that is what you are after. |

| 39784 | 2002-03-23 03:53:00 | I wondered when somebody else was going to have this problem - presumably like us you have 2 user accounts both admin.accounts? I got into this with xtra several times and they just didn't get what i meant - but if you want both users to be able to check the mail from the same e-mail account this is what you do - they can then both individually check the mail in their own accounts: Tools - accounts - mail - properties - advanced - then under Delivery tick leave a copy of mail on server. Thats it and as i said they will both get all the e-mails when they log in - Which as several people told me is doubling up, but is convenient for this type of user set up and saves time etc.. Hope this is what you meant!! Good luck if not! |

| 39785 | 2002-03-23 04:00:00 | P.S If you do not do the above setup and leave the box unticked - the mail will go to which ever person checks it first and not duplicate!So they will get it in whos ever account checks it only which has its downsides as we discovered! Basically brings you back to square one in you have to go into the other account to read any mail they checked in! | Guest (0) | ||
