Ok, I have Outlook Express, whatever the latest version is from windows udpate. I have a desktop and laptop. I want to share the inbox from both pcs. I am running windows xp proffessional sp2 on the desktop, and windows xp home sp2 on the laptop. I want to use my desktop as a file server for outlook. I can map the network drives, no problem. When I'm on my laptop, and I can access my desktop's hard drive, lets say X:\, I go into outlook and try to point it to the x drive, it doesn't see my inbox. Of course this is done with me being logged in and not being logged into my desktop. Outlook express isn't open on my desktop at the time of testing. Does anyonehave any experience with it, would be willing to share?
