RE: LAN E-mail w/Outlook

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

I had exactly that set-up. Just instead Outlook Express, I use Outlook 2000. I'm currenty re-building server and clients and I'll soon have the same.

 

I have profiles on the server. P: drive is mapped at the server as private (home) drive.

I don't use Outlook, nor have it installed on server.

From the workstations (PC, laptop...) in Outlook I have specified to use Private folders on P:\Outlook folders\mailbox.pst or something similar.

With Outlook Express, you cannot specify where mailboxes are, but, by default they are stored on the local machine.

I suppose that it can be changed somewhere in Registry, but it's much easier in Outlook.

My wife and me use different profiles in Outlook, as well, so she has different services, downloading different mailboxes from internet.

 

Hope you got the idea...

Hi all,

I've been carefully following the thread on Mercury mail and am quite interested
in setting this up.  I've got a couple of questions though.

What I'd like it to do is:
1)  Access my e-mail from any computer on the LAN
2)  The e-mails would only viewed/sent from the client computer (not stored on
the client)
3)  The saved e-mails (i.e "inbox") and the e-mail folders would be stored on
the server.
4)  M$ Outlook  Express to be used on the clients?

To boil it down, I'd like to access the same e-mail account/mailbox from
different PC's preferably using Outlook Express.

I've read through the setup on http://mid.uk.com/mercury and think I understand
it.  Does this setup mean the e-mail is transferred to Outlook on the client
computer?  If I check e-mail from 2 different computers on the LAN, I would have
2 different "inboxes" with different contents?

I already have multiple accounts set up on one of my computers for my and
SWMBO's e-mail addresses.


Thanks for the help,

Doug Woolridge
