Outlook Express 6 Distribution System?

[Guest]

Good morning community,

I have a small home computer network, with a number of systems running
Windows XP service Pack 1, and Outlook Express 6 as packaged. Part of my
network is a laptop computer.

Outlook Express is my default mail client, accessing POP3 Mail through ADSL.

What I would like to know, is if I can set up a centralised email
distribution area, so that my email comes through only one computer,
effectively like a full version of Outlook accessing a Microsoft Exchange
server?

What I would like to achieve is for the following scenario:

If my latop gets stolen at any stage in future, that the person that steals
it is unable to access my electronic mail.

No.

No...

Have you looked into EFS, as well as making sure you have a complex password
for yours and the default administrator account? Be careful with EFS or you
may lock yourself out.
