Win2k and Outlook

First off, I use both win2k and win98, but Im really trying to go more towards win2k. But for that to work, I need be able to "flow" between one OS and the other pretty easily. That brings me to my question, how do I get Outlook in Win2k to work with my @home account? I tried just putting in "mail" and I also tried "mail.home.com" as the mail servers and I had no luck. Any ideas? Second of all, how can I make my win2k login and win98 share one set of mail folders so that emails I download when in win2k are visable from win98 and vice-versa?
thanks,

The mail servers should be something like mail.<location information>.home.com. Either call @home and ask or find your IP (c<something.<location info> -- for example, c<something.adubn1.nj.home.com would be mail.adubn1.nj.home.com).

To share mail folders, make sure your Outlook in both operating systems is pointing to the same .pst file. Easiest way is to set Outlook up with all the folders/etc in one operating system. Use View>Folder List>right-click on Outlook Today>Properties>Advanced and take note of the Path. From your second operating system, view the folder list again, then use File>Open>Personal Folders File (.pst)... to select the pst in the path noted above. You can close the old Outlook Today by right-clicking on it and selecting Close.
