From: nn on 8 Mar 2010 09:59 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
From: Corday on 8 Mar 2010 10:08 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! "nn" wrote: > I am using gmail for e-mail. I use the e-mail program Windows mail.

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/answer.py?hl=en&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.
