Go to Tools | Accounts and double click the account.
On the Advanced tab, check both the box to Leave a copy of messages on the
server and to Delete messages after 5 days.
If you do not check the latter, your mail box on the server will fill up and
you will be unable to receive more mail.

Select one of the computers (the one you use the most) to be the one that
runs outlook express. On the other computer set up a shortcut that runs
outlook on the main computer, not on the local computer. That way all your
email will be kept in one place and you can access it from both machines.

Good luck,

I wouldn't recommend that. Even if started, it can't work stable any long
time, since OE 5/6 is designed to have exclusive access to dbx files.

It may be that I don't understand things, but that shouldn't work. MSOE is
not designed to run remotely. If the shortcut points to the executable on
the remote computer, it will simply load the code, and then run it, on the
local computer. It won't matter which disk is the source, the program will
be run locally.

And, eventually, the .dbx files will be corrupted by shared access.
