| 14544 | 2001-06-24 11:16:00 | Is it possible for two computers that are networked together to share Outlook Express mailboxes? Both computers have modems. Want to avoid having some messages on one PC and others on the other PC. Not using Internet Connection sharing at present. Thanks. | Guest (0) | ||
| 14545 | 2001-06-24 14:15:00 | Yes it is and it is quite simple. Fist we have to choose a location to store the emails that both computers you have acess to. Cool, So you now have a location in mind, ie C:\messages on Pc #1. Now we will tell outlook express to use this new shared folder. From Outlook express tools > Options > Maintence. Click on the Store tab and chage the location for new emails to be saved to, and hit ok. Do this on both PC's. (Note : write down or remember the old store locations from both pc's !!) Next step is to bring your other emails over. Good thing you have wrote down the old store location!. From outlook Express now select File > Import > Messages. Now depending on your version of outlook express depends on what option you choose here. Click on 'Microsoft outlook express x and next(x being you version). From this new pop up, put the dot on 'import mail from OEx store directory' and then click on ok. You will now be asked for the store location, So now browse to the old store loaction for OE and now click on next. The old messages will now be imported to your new store loaction. Will need to to redo this step again to import the messages from the 2nd PC's OE store folder. Great now your OE sill save in the same folder and you have not lost any messages. Jess |
