[Nfbf-l] Outlook compatibility patch

Tue Jan 13 03:05:35 UTC 2009

Hi Holly,

If he wants to get the same messages on more than one computer there is a
slight problem which I will explain but there might also be a solution.

Normally when you download your mail to your computer it automatically gets
deleted off of the service provider's server.  This happens so that all that
mail doesn't just sit up there and accumulate eventually overloading the
server's capacity.  So, this means once the messages have been downloaded
they are no longer there so can't be downloaded on a different computer
again.  Most people don't want the same messages on more than one machine
but if he does want to do that there might be a way to make it happen.

I don't have Outlook Express and I don't use Windows Mail but if you look
through the menus, probably someplace like tools, options etc, you may find
an option to leave messages on the server after they are downloaded.  If you
do find this option I would only do it on one computer and make sure that
you use that machine to download the mail first.  That way when he goes to
the other computer he should be able to get his mail again if he wants.  I
must caution you though that if the mail is left there on the server to
accumulate eventually you will get some kind of notification from your
service provider telling you that you have reached your quota.  I'm not sure
the option mentioned above even exists in either Outlook Express or Windows
Mail but it's worth looking.

Good luck,
Jim Ellsworth

Does anyone know how to get messages on Outlook Express and Window Mail
(Vista) on two different computers at the same time? My father has a new
computer and it has Vista on it. Vista uses Windows Mail instead of Outlook
Express. He has a laptop and two desk top computers within his house for
different uses. He would like to be able to check, read and store his
messages on all the computers not just the one with Vista. Any help would be
great.
