sharing e-mail

[Frank52]

My wife and I share a local network. We both have Outlook 2007 on our
computers. If I use Outlook to download e-mail then it goes to my Outlook
making it impossible for my wife to view it. Is it possible to share the
same personal folder so we can both access the same information?

For a LAN, use something like Hamster, or my favorite, Mercury/32. Allows
you to download from several POP3 servers to a local mail store on the LAN,
and to run a local IMAP4 server on the LAN.

Not sure where to find Hamster, but you can find Mercury/32 here:

Since it appears you both are using the same mailbox on the mail server, each
of you should configure Outlook to leave messages on the server so that they
will available for each of you to download.
