Send your wife or SO upstairs to forward all the messages? <gr> I actually just load up PCAnywhere. I run a PCanywhere host automatically on all my machines so they are always available. I have had good results with it. The other way to avoid this problem (mainly because my wife just says no...) is to set the advanced properties on the email account to "Leave messages on Server" for 5 days. I do this for any email account I may want to access from another location. Most email servers allow you to do this, some will always delete a message after a successful receive. This also allows me to access my mail via one of those nifty web based email retrieval services if I find myself wanting to check email, but not near my PC. thatweb.com is the one I use. I'm sure there are others. Other than importing the .pst file across the network from outlook on your other box, I don't think there is any other way to get that mail. This is way too much hassle and it probably wouldn't import with outlook open on the remote machine. Good Luck Dan

Peter, I don't know if this is possible through a network, but I do it between O/S's on my computer with multiple physical drives. You just use file/import/messages/ie5/main identity. Then browse to the computer and drive where the email is stored. Within that drive browse further to Windows/Application Data/Identities and then you'll have to know which identity is the one you want (if there is more than one). Or you can figure it out from what folders are in that identity. After choosing the identity you still have to browse further to Microsoft/Outlook Express. (This is all fairly obvious when you are doing it). You'll be given a choice of what oe folder to import from. And that's it! If you don't have a matching folder for the one you are importing, one is created. I don't know what would happen if the identity you're trying to import is not used on your laptop. The main question is whether this utility will show the other computers on your network. w
