but then I want each of them to receive each others email so i thought about forwarding just one of the email accounts to the other and then using that one on both comuters in outlook. But then when one of them sends an email it would undoubtedly come up as the wrong name on one of them so is there anyway around that?
dunlop, your response to ethel seems a little rude. Maybe it wasn't intended to be but it reads like it. If you want peoples help for free it is better to be nice to them.
You can add both accounts to outlook express or outlook so you will recieve emails sent to both and when you send an email you can choose which account to use to send the mail with, therefore it appears to come from the correct person.
