    Mail Server?

    I am wondering if it possible to set up some kind of mail server (unsure if this is what is required) I have one pop3 email address however I have email set up that forwards to my pop3 address.

    Example: Mine - me@home.com Pop3 Account
    Partners - her@home.com Forward Account

    What I want to do is collect mail from my log in winxp but I want it set up if possible so that if the system collects mail that has been forwarded from my partners address it forwards it on to her winxp log in.

    in outlook, click tools, rules, in there you will be able to create a rule that automatically forwards email received on a specific address to a different address.

    it's a little easier than setting up a mail server...

    Then you would need to put the address whihc receives them.
    ie,
    yourpop3@me.com = pop3
    mrs@me.com = redirects to pam.benson@shotmail.com

    Then you would need to put that pam.benson@shotmail.com in as pop3, if poss.

    Ill check out argosoft mail, cheers.

    I think I might have explained my situation wrong, I have a pop3 account me@mydomain.co.uk and several other email addresses anything@mydomain.co.uk that simply get forwarded to my address, so when i collect my emails i also get everybody elses I want to set up a system if possible where as if the email was originally addressed to somebody else it gets forwarded to there relevnt xp login as this is only on one computer and not on a network.

    Cheers
