Outlook Express / XP question?

[Novexx]

I am shortly going to be moving from Win2000Pro to XPPro, the PCs being on a peer to peer network.

At the moment with 2000Pro I am using Outlook Express for mail, which works OK apart from the fact that I could really do with being able to access mail for the same mail account on two of the network machines. At the moment I am using TightVNC to view mail on the "mail PC" from the "non mail" PC, but this isn't really much use.

Is there any way of configuring the mail package that comes with XP (Outlook Express I assume), so that I can read & send mail from 2 PCs on the network (again to the same mail account)? It it possible to set one of the machines up as a mail server, with the other being a client only?

You could tell your clients to leave the messages on the server or you could install a third party mail server on one of the computers. I don't think XP will act as a mail server 'out of the box'

Does Outlook 2003 (as with Office 2003) allow this to be done?
