Re: Toolbar Email on IE8

Files and Settings Transfer would be overkill for this job.

First, as Ron noted, make sure you check "Leave a copy of messages on
server" if you want messages to be available to accounts on both computers.
You will have to delete messages from the server eventually- the inbox will
fill up.

I would place the computers side by side, open Outlook Express> Tools>
Accounts> Mail, and setup new accounts using settings from the other
computer which already has the accounts setup.

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do in this case:
"> want to put her one email account (Comcast) on my computer in my email
folder"

Hi Don.

Let me see if I can clear this up. My wife has one email account (Comcast)
on her laptop. I want to also put it on my computer in my email folder in
Favorites so we can check her email on my computer. Conversely, I have four
email accounts (GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo and Comcast/Outlook Express) and I
want to also put them on her laptop in an email folder under Favorites on her
computer so we can check my emails on her machine if we wish. Thus, we can
check all our emails regardless of which computer we are using at the time.

Hope this helps explain it better. And did you see an earlier new message
(7/14) with you as subject re web pages out of sync?

Scotirish 7/15/09 11:50 a.m. EST

I am not clear if you and/or your wife have Web based email accounts or if
you are accessing them in Outlook Express.
If in Outlook Express, are the accounts pop, imap, or http?
To add your wife to Outlook Express, create a new Identity and setup the
account.
