Using Outlook Express in home network
Last response: in Wireless Networking

I've set up my home network between the desktop upstairs and the notebook
downstairs. Both are on Windows XP and file sharing is working great, but how
do I set up the notebook to access my Outlook Express account? I'd like to be
able to get to new and saved e-mails, as well as contacts, but haven't found
a way to do that yet.

If you simply want to share a single email account setup each machine to
leave mail on the server. One client, however, should be configured to act
as the "master" and have the ability to remove messages from the server
after X days. I use this strategy so my wife and I can share one email
account between two XP Pro machines. We do that with Outlook 2003, (my
machine) and Outlook Express (her machine).
Point each of the computers to the mail server at your ISP. Then on one
computer go to "Tools -> Accounts", highlight the email account, select
"Properties -> Advanced", and check the box to "Leave a copy of messages on
the server". DO NOT check the "Remove from server after X day(s)" box. On
the other computer go to "Tools -> Accounts", highlight the email account,
select "Properties -> Advanced" and check the box to "Leave a copy of
messages on the server". Check the "Remove from server after X day(s)" box
and select how many days to leave messages on the server. That way all
computers can read the mail, but only one controls when and/or if the
messages are actually deleted off of the server.
As far as the Address Book is concerned you can export one Address Book in
..csv (Comma Seperated Variables) format and import the .csv file into the
other PC/laptop.
From OE "Help"...
To export your Address Book contacts to other programs
You can export your Address Book contacts to other Windows Address Book
(.wab) files, as well as to Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book, or any
text (.csv) file.
To export your Address Book files to another Windows Address Book:
1.. In Address Book, on the File menu, point to Export, and then click
Address Book (WAB).
2.. Locate and select the Windows Address Book file you want to export to,
and then click Open.
For all other address book formats:
1.. In the Address Book, on the File menu, point to Export, and then click
Other Address Book.
2.. Click the address book or file type you want to export to, and then
click Export.

Great! My e-mail is up, but I can't get the address book. I've exported the
addresses via ..csv, but when I import using the import tool I get an Error
importing to the Address Book message.

Maybe a corrupted file? I would post this question to the
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress news group since
this is outside the scope of this group.
Good luck...
