My step dad likes outlook and my mom wants thunderbird. Can you have them setup with two different e-mails working at the same time?
 
As long as the e-mail addresses are different you won't see a problem. Whereas if they were the same, e-mail would download in different locations at different times and both boxes wouldnt' be synchronized.
 
No problem sir, any issues setting up be sure to post back :)
 
Going a little off topic since I believe failurb is talking about two seperate accounts but..

technically, you could use the same email account with both .. set them up as IMAP and/or POP accounts w/mail on the server and the inboxes *should* be the same. The sent items might be different on each client though.. and if you also run the risk of someone setting the POP account to delete mail from the server, etc.. etc..

It's not advisable to use two different clients with the same email account, but it is technically possible.
 
anything for the chief!!

fitz, they are two verizon accounts but different addresses, thanks for clearin that up as well!!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
