Can I, via my network, access my outlook express mail folder (Vista) from my
Outlook Express (XP Pro)? I am trying to move my Vista mail to my XP Pro. I
have the Vista folder marked as share all. Still, from the XP side I keep
getting a message that I don't have permissions to access the folder. What am
I doing wrong?

Windows Mail and Outlook Express use different storage techniques.

To share incoming messages set them to leave a copy on the server for 5 days
in the advanced properties of the account. And then make sure you use each
every day.

To share Sent Items, drag the message to a Windows folder and from there
into a folder in an open instance of the other program.
