I recently installed a new windows XP PC on my network and a email account on
Outlook Express. Then I went to other windows xp PC's and set up the same
account in Outlook Express. I can't view the messages in the Inbox on these
two. How do I fix it so I can see the email in the Inbox?

To have the same messages appear on both computers, configure the
accounts in Outlook Express on both computers to leave messages on the
server:

1. Click Tools > Accounts.

2. Click the E-mail account and click Properties.

3. Click the Advanced tab.

4. Put a check mark in the box "Leave a copy of messages on server".

4. To keep your E-mail server from filling up with messages, choose
one of the methods for removing messages from the server.

After that, all new messages will appear on both computers.
