MxxCon Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 prolly becuase your email client is configured once you download your emails on 1st computer they are removed from the server, hense 2nd puter doesn't see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullie Posted July 5, 2003 Author Share Posted July 5, 2003 yes but i should see the other pcs files and the emails without using webmail , have disabled the xp firewall but still cannot see the files , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullie Posted July 5, 2003 Author Share Posted July 5, 2003 i mean once the emails are on the master pc ,i should see them using the slave pc the 1st pc has to be on the net so i should be able to see them using the 2nd pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 once you download those emails they are stored in database file for your email client. if you use exactly same client on both computers you can just share that database file between them.
