Just got my new laptop.  I have installed a wireless router on my old desktop computer.   Everything works good but how can I access my desktops email through the wireless network (laptop)?   I am running Outlook Express on both computers.  Thanks for the help.

what is your ISP's mail server?

you could probably take all the mail settings from the desktop and just copy them over to the laptop.

are both computer retreiving email for the same account? if so, I found the best course of action is a setting that tells outlook NOT to delete email from the email server. use this setting on one computer and that way both computers will get a copy of the email.

As mentioned above...you may want to pick one of the two PCs to be the main email recipient. On the other PC be sure to set outlook to leave a copy on the mail server, that way you can have all the important emails on both PCs.
