2 email accounts, 2 email programs?

[InflatableBuddha]

Hi,

I use Thunderbird for my email and my girlfriend uses Outlook for hers. Next month, we'll be living in a place where we'll only have room for one desktop, so we're going to share mine. So I want to get both e-mail accounts on my computer.

Is it possible to copy her Outlook 2003 settings to my computer (I only have Outlook Express), so that she can use her account in OE and I can continue to use my account in Thunderbird? Then I assume I can copy her OE account back to Outlook on her computer in the future?

Just wondering if this is the best solution, or if there might be conflicts. Thanks.

I use Outlook 2007 for my personal stuff, and Thunderbird for business mail that comes in over an SSH connection. I haven't had any conflicts at all. I still use Outlook because I have a lot of stuff in that PST file. TBird still has a few quirks, but it's a _lot_faster than Outlook.
