I use Outlook Express at home for my personal E mail accounts. I am trying to set it up to receive E mails from my work acct. If at home I get any new E mails but how can I get what has already been sent. Can they both sync up. I want to be able to read all mail whether at home or at work. Hope this made sense. Thanks.

Once you read an email from outlook, it is deleted from the isp's mail box. So you can not get it back another time. Check with you ISP to see if it's possible to change this setting.

As an alternaive you can use "Web mail" in internet to read your emails, which allow you to read them as many time as you want from different locations

Hope this serve your question

You cannot read your "sent" emails from another computer since they are never stored on the server. They are saved on the machine that created the message.



The exception to this is if you use a free email account like gmail or yahoo mail. Then the emails are stored on the server so they can be accessed from anywhere, but here you are using the web as your email client, not Outlook Express.



There are a couple of way around this limitation. One is to send yourself a blind copy of your sent mail to your home address. Others are discussed here:

None offer a perfect solution in my opinion, however.

Hi there. It depends on what email client you are using at work. If you are using Outlook at work you can set up a rule to have specific emails forwarded to another account.



Here is a brief explanation if you have Outlook at work:



Open Outlook (at work) and click on Tools, when it drops down then click Message Rules and Mail.



Box#1: A dialog box will appear that says add new rule. Click on the box "Where the from line contains people"



Box#2: Select the action to your rule. Click on the box "Forward it to people"



Box#3: Click on the blue highlighted "contains people" words and it will bring up a new box that says "Select People"

and then type in your work email address. Click add and then ok. Then click on blue highlighted "people" word and enter your home email address. Click add and ok.



By creating this rule on your work email client it will forward a copy of your sent emails to your home email address.



That should work. Good luck.

Yeah,it makes a lot of sense.. If you're using OUTLOOK EXPRESS at work and home, click tools, accounts. under the "MAIL" tab, hightlight the email account you want to "SYNC UP". click properties, go to the "ADVANCED" tab. Under the "DELIVERY" section down at he bottom, tick on the boxes that say "LEAVE A COPY OF MESSAGES OF ON SERVER" and "REMOVE FROM SERVER WHEN DELETED FROM DELETED ITEMS". click "APPLY, OK, CLOSE". click "SEND/RCVE" when you're either at work or home.

in case you have been using Outlook exhibit earlier including your Hotmail account you will get right of entry to and use it. If not then you will might desire to purchase the privilege from MSN. (Sorry, yet does than propose bill Gates desires extra money?)
