If you simply want to share a single email account setup each machine to leave mail on the server.
One client, however, should be configured to act as the "master" and have the ability to remove
messages from the server after X days. I use this strategy so my wife and I can share one email
account between two XP Pro machines. We do that with Outlook 2003, but its basically the same with
Outlook Express or other versions of Outlook.
Point each of the computers to the mail server at your ISP. Then on one computer go to "Tools ->
Accounts", highlight the email account, select "Properties -> Advanced", and check the box to "Leave
a copy of messages on the server". DO NOT check the "Remove from server after X day(s)" box. On the
other computer go to "Tools -> Accounts", highlight the email account, select "Properties ->
Advanced" and check the box to "Leave a copy of messages on the server". Check the "Remove from
server after X day(s)" box and select how many days to leave messages on the server. That way all
computers can read the mail, but only one controls when and/or if the messages are actually deleted
off of the server.
