Windows mail, desktop to laptop.

Is there a way to share mail settings on my desktop with my new laptop?
Both are running Vista Home Premium.

Thanks,
R.

Depends on exactly what you are trying to share.
Accounts? Incoming emails? Outgoing emails?

In general, if two computers check the same email account, you
will need to configure them to leave a copy on the server:
Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties, Advanced,
enable "Leave a copy of messages on server." Also select one
of the two associated 'remove' options.
Do this on both computers.

In addition to what Gary indicated, the actual settings are stored in the
registry. see the section on WinMail here: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx The
message files you can't share across computers, but they can be easily
swapped back and forth.
