Probably a dopey question, but I'll ask anyway and then deny it was me. . .
Using Outlook Express 6 to access a Comcast email account. I need access to this same account on a second PC. Both PC's are in the house and on the same network. Do I simply create a duplicate account with the same password on the second PC? Or is something else required?
Thank you.

With outlook Express it POPs your email account and deletes them from the server, so you want to make sure you go into the account options and mark leave a copy on the server, otherwise the other pc will not get the same messages.

So, I just set up the duplicate account on the second PC, check to "Leave a copy on the server", and I will have access to the email account on both PC's. Is this correct?

You can also get email by logging in at the comcast.net website. Not really sure what you're trying to accomplish.

The answer to your question though is yes.
