Re: Outlook Express 6 share files XP home + Vista Home Prem

Forwarded to OE General and Windows Mail newsgroups via crosspost.

On both machines: Enable the option to leave messages on the mail server.

On one machine: Enable the option to delete messages from the server after X
number days so the account doesn't exceed its limit.

Thanks for the info, this will at least allow both inboxes to receive same
info.

I now just need to see how to sync contacts on each pc and possibly sent
emails and filed emails.

In Vista, emails are individual eml files that you can drag and drop from
Explorer into an OE or WinMail folder. You can save the eml files from OE
and drag them and drop them into WinMail also.

My OEX program makes it a bit easier to synchronize between the two message
stores. See www.oehelp.com/OEX/
