Two e-mail programs simultaneously
I am using gmail for e-mail. I use the e-mail program Windows mail. But I now
have two computers. I would like to open my e-mails on the new computer too, in a neat e-mail program. Outlook Express is pre installed so I want to use that. The new computer (a netbook) operates with mobile broadband, they stationary computer gets internet from cable. Computer 1: (stationary) Runs on broadband, Internet Explorer 8, Windows Vista, Windows mail Computer 2 (netbook): Runs on mobile internet, Internet Explorer 8, Windows XP, Outlook Express 6 I have configurated my e-mail account by just mirroring the settings from computer 1 to computer 2. It doesn´t work. Possible to fix it? Thankful for all help I can get. Ove, Stockholm |

Can you send from new computer? Once you're set up properly, you're going to
have to leave EMail on web server if you want access to the same mail. Otherwise the message will be "gone" to the other unit. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics!

Ove, Stockholm I don't know of any ISP that will allow multiple simultaneous connections to an e-mail account, which is basically what you're trying to do if I understand correctly. It just makes sense, don't you think? Whichever machine will be the first to read mail should leave mail on the server rather than delete it. It can still be marked as "read" if you wish, so you don't have to keep seeing it. Read e-mails are kept track of on your computer, not at the ISP, so another computer or even another account on your computer would still see the message as not read yet the first time it was accessed. One of the two machines could be delegated with the job of removing mail from the server IF you want to do that. Personally, I just let the ISP age them off their server on one machine, and the other deletes them after 30 days. As long as you don't remove a message from the server before the other accounts/machines can get to it, it'll all go fine. It's sometimes handy to be able to use a different account to read a message as new when you manage to lose it or accidentally deleted it from your machine.

It what way doesn't it work?
By default using POP3 with Gmail, message will download to only on PC. This is a Gmail "feature". To download messages to both, see Gmail: Using POP on multiple clients or mobile devices http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...n&answer=47948 Another option with Gmail is to use IMAP. In this case the mail programs mirror the web mail. Any changes made in either PC or the web get reflected in the others next time you synch. This includes deleting messages or moving between folders.

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.. /Ove, Stockholm |

After experimenting and not succeding with the IMAP-server settings I have
temporarily gone back to the old settings of Gmail (the recent parameter in POP settings). That resulted in 800 mails now turning up again on the Whindows Mail. These mails were previously erased - I erased them from the Windows mail and not the Gmail. A long work lies ahead of me in determining what was and what was not erased earlier. I would naturally prefer a solution that means that an erased mail i Windows Mailguarantees that it is also erased from the Gmail. How do I manage the settings? I supoose this question is just a continuation. I have - for the time being - given up the idea of running Outlook Express on pc2. I am just gonna go Gmail there. But I absolutely want that an erased mail on the Windows mail (pc1) shall be automatically erased also from Gmail. Is this possible, given the problem of settings with the IMAP-server? Ove, again |

No, my instructions tell you how to have your Gmail account set up for POP3 access in each Mail Client (OE in WinXP & WinMail in Vista) such that all messages in your inbox at http://mail.google.com will download into your OE & WinMail inboxes. |
