Outlook and Outlook Express

I have Outlook Express with my Home XP and Outlook Express with my Office
XP.

Can I use both interchangeably without conflict?

Thank you.

Do you mean you want to use them both to check the same email account??

The default behaviour with Outlook Express is to download your email to your
local computer (whichever one your sitting in front of)
So....for example....if you have 10 new messages in your email---and you
start Outlook Express on your Home computer, those 10 emails
will be moved from the email server down to your local hard drive. So, now
when you go to your work computer --and tell it to "Check for new mail"
it will say you have NONE...(because the 10 messages were moved to your home
computer)

Here is what you need to do: (from Outlook Express HELP file)
To store messages on an e-mail server

Storing messages on a server is useful if you need to read e-mail from more
than one computer. When you log on to your account from a different
computer, Outlook Express downloads messages according to the options you
have set. You can store messages on a POP3 server. If you have HTTP e-mail,
or IMAP e-mail, your messages are always kept on the server.

1.. On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
2.. Click the e-mail account, and then click Properties.
3.. Click the Advanced tab, and then select Leave a copy of messages on
server.

No, you have Outlook Express that came with IE6 in Windows XP, but you
have OUTLOOK that came with Office XP. the two are TOTALLY different
programs.

I guess you are using an ISP email service for your home account, only
because this is the most common setup.


You can indead setup them both up to access the same email services. In
outlook express you can setup an account to access the POP email service
provided by your ISP (the pop server is where you log onto download your
mail from.) The setting is in the tools menu, then select accounts and then
setup new mail account. If you are not sure about the settings copy them
from the machine that is setup.Onr thing to remember if you are going to
retrieve mail on both computers is to 'leave messages on server' when
collecting mail (select tools>accounts>select properties for the account
that you have just setup and then select the advance tab and check leave
message on server). You need to do this on both machines.

Another thing to bear in mind is that some ISP's will only let you access
there POP server and other various services if you are dialed up or
connected to their service so if you are connected to the internet by a LAN
for example at work you willn ot be able to retrieve the mail anyway
