My husband accesses his email via a POP3 account on Outlook Express and wants to be able to download emails on Mail - AND have them (same emails) download to Outlook Express.

Is there any way he can do this - (he doesn't want to use Yahoo or Gmail).

Yes, this is what IMAP is for.

It should be possible. When I got my laptop with Vista, I got my emails with Windows Mail, but I also got my emails with Outlook Express on my old laptop, which ran XP.



I did however find that I could only access Hotmail from one computer at a time.

Some pop mail server allow user to hold original copy of email in mail server, so it can be downloaded countless of time using multiple client and multiple PC. Gmail allow this to be done.



Otherwise, he might use IMAP instead of POP3 if possible.
