I have a small home network with 3 computers (2-XP, 1-Vista). Is there
anyway to setup email on the network so all computers share common in/out
boxes, contacts, etc? I don't mind purchasing software if something exists.
I would prefer that all PCs run either Windows Mail or something very
similar. If I can't dynamically share files, is there something that can
automatically sync mailboxes, contacts, etc? I don't want to use my ISP's
web mail. Thanks for your help.

If your E-mail provider supports it, access your account using IMAP,
instead of POP3, on all of your computers. Your messages will be
stored on your E-mail provider's server, and all of your computers
will have the same view of them. For more information:

Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group
for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions
addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
