Windows XP Networking Question

Is there a way I can network 4+ computers together but make them all share the same E-mail?

For example...

I can send an E-mail from one computer, yet if you check the "SENT" box, it will show on ALL of them. (Using Outlook)

Also, if one receives an E-mail, so do ALL of them... possible?

Yeah, it's called hotmail. :la:

(I don't think there's any other way to do it)

If you set up one of them as a server, I think you could do it with a roaming profile, but I don't think you can set it up peer-peer. I'm not at the cutting edge of such things, however.

yes it's possible. just leave the messages on the server.

then every time you check your email, all the old ones will come in with the new ones.

Unless you check "Delete message from server when deleted from inbox"

Then it works just fine until one of the 4 computers deletes it.

and if you got 4 users, chances are that one of them will delete it before everyone reads it.

only takes one idiot.

4 different users should have 4 different mail client logins.
