Dual E-Mail Clients?

by dcmorris Nov 4, 2005 12:55AM PST

My dilemma, I want to use an e-mail client other than IE. The One Who Must Be Obeyed doesn?t adjust to change easily. Can I have my choice of e-mail client on my User Account and she retain IE on her User Account?

DC, As Long As Your Addresses Are Different...Yes..

Simply set up Outlook Express to download her e-mail address only using the correct server settings.

Then set up a secondary mail client using your address using the same server settings, assuming you both have the same ISP and settings.

I already do that on my home comupter..I use Microsoft Outlook for my primary account and Outlook Express for my wife's account.

Hope this helps.
