Outlook Express/Windows Mail Folder Sharing?

[GreenMint]

Hey all;

Just still running between windows xp on one partition and windows 7 on another, I used OE for years, and still have a lot of custom setup folders in it that I want to use, basically, is it possible to share mailboxes between 7 and xp so when I switch OS my mails will be updated?

Cheers

If you point both accounts to the same PST file, then yeah I don't see why not?

I'm assuming its a POP account?

Not easily.
Different mail clients with differing file formats.

Leave a copy on the server and collect from both operating systems, maybe set the most used to also delete after xdays.

OE and Windows mail don't use .pst's.

This, or install windows live mail on both and see if that will work off the same store.

Either way your custome folders are probably going to need sorting.

Ah lame, I just assumed it was the same as Outlook.
