If the XP is Pro, you can use Remote Desktop to access it from Vista.
If not, you can use VNC or LogMeIn to access it. "Terry" wrote in message ... Is it possible to access the outlook express files on one computer from another computer on a home network? OE is on a Win XP PC and the new PC is A Vista laptop.

OE is not really designed to do that just by sharing files. If you simply want to share a single email account setup eac*h machine to leave mail on the server. One client, however, should be configured to act as the "mas*ter" and have the ability to remove messages from the server after X days. I use this strategy s*o my wife and I can share one email account between a desktop and laptop. We do that with Windows Mail, (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 emai*l 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. Keep in mind that if you send email from one PC and want to see the sent mail message on the other machine you need to add your email account to the cc: or bcc: fields. -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...
