My brother has Virgin Broadband and uses it for emails. Now, can he access his Virgin email in Outlook Express and on the web?

If he views the emails through outlook express is there a way he can have them come throught the web too? View same emails on both?

The webmail will be viewing whatever mail is sat on the mail server, Outlook will download it to the local PC then delete it from the mail server so it vanishes from the webmail's view. The only way round this is to set Outlook to not delete mail from the server when it retrieves it. Problem is you'll only have a finite amount of space available on the mail server and will have to perform your own pruning of the server mailbox to ensure it doesn't fill and start rejecting mail.

https://webmail.virgin.net/mail

One of those should do the trick depending on what broadband service he has.

Pay attention to rpstewart's advice if he wants access to all his emails via webmail, not just the ability to check/send when he's away from his PC.

He wants to be able to view his email while abroad too.
