Some outlook problems

Hi all,

I have 2 problems.

Number one:
I run a main computer system hooked up to a wireless network and send and receive email through this (well rather my dad does) but we can only receive mail on the wireless and have to connect to a dial up connection to send the emails. The wireless is connected to broadband but we need to keep the dial up as dad needs that for the email address. Is there a way that we can send and receive mail through the broadband? (we use outlook express) Ive tried messing around with the connections settings but it just wants me to dial up to broadband when we have an always on type.




Number 2:
My mum also has a laptop and wants to access email when my dad or myself are on the main pc so we've set her up with a laptop and a wireless connection but how do I set the laptop up to be able to see all the emails in the inbox etc just like the outlook express on the main pc? I've tried before but the outlook express on my mums pc takes the emails off the server so we can't get new mail and she also can't see email already on the main pc which is what we want to end up. I suspect there must be a way of networknig this in outlook


Please please help

Thanks

 

I know how to configure accounts as i set them up, nevermind. Any ideas to question 2?

cheers

 

I'm not an Outlook express expert but am very familiar with Outlook.

Outlook's default setting is to remove email from the server. Go into the email accounts and in the connections area there is an advanced tab with a "leave email on the server" checkbox in the delivery section. That box is currently unchecked...check it and you should be ok.

BTW...the only reason that you can't send mail is because your OUTBOUND connection is not set up correctly. Either the domain is wrong or you have not checked the box to use the same credentials as inbound access.
