Can I use same mail store folder for Outlook Express & Windows Mail

[killercain]

Hi Guys,

just a real quick question, I am currently dual-booting XP & windows 7,
it is possible to use Outlook express in XP & then use windows mail in 7
& vice versa, but using the same mail store folder?

Thanks for any help

I don't think you can use the same mail folder with them.

However, you can set them to leave the mail on the server for x amount of days. Then, both of them should be up to date (as long as you check email within those x amount of days per OS). Put it at a time when you know you'll be checking email on the OS, but not long enough to max out your email storage quota.

That's what I did when I was using multiple email agents (in different locations).

That is my understanding too.
