New question/topic re email and lan.

It's a cold dark night and peter is snug in his bed, communicating with the world from his laptop. The laptop is connected via an ethernet lan to the office machine upstairs, which is on DSL. Peter is on DSL via Sygate, through the office machine.

peter wishes to check his email on Outlook Express, but when he sees no messages realizes he left Outlook running on the upstairs computer, and it has collected all the messages.

He does not wish to get out of bed. What should he do to read his mail?
