Default Two e-mail programs simultaneously

To everyone (no one forgotten) that tried to help – Thank you!

To Mr Bruce:
The settings worked partly for me. I did received an e mail (sent from a
hotmail account) on the new netbook (Outlook Express). But the side effect
was that the e mail did NOT come to the first computer (the stationary that
uses Windows mail). iow: pc2 works but not pc1.

To Mr Mike:
The settings with “Using POP on multiple clients or mobile devices” – the
“recent-settings” - resulted the other way around. I could receive an e-mail
on the stationary windows mail computer, but NOT on the netbook Outlook
Express computer. iow: pc1 works but not pc2

Therefore I once again tried the settings of “Enabling IMAP”. I think that
sounded a better solution for me. I think I have followed the instructions
BUT the problem is the settings of the actual Windows mail- and Outlook
Express programs. It now says “The server for incoming e-mail is a
pop3-server”. I wanted to change that to IMAP-server, but that´s not
possible. The word POP3 is stuck.

Prior to that I have changed the settings on Google Gmail where POP is
deactivated and IMAP is activated and I have saved.

To PA Bear
Maybe you wre saying something interesting but I didn´t understand it. Are
you saying that I should install Windows Mail on the netbook as well?

So I am still not out of the woods with this one..
