My aunt got a new computer a while ago, and I went and helped set it up. The one thing I couldn’t figure was how to get them all to send/recieve the same e-mail. The family all have different desktops, and they just want 1 inbox. How do I set this up?

Hmm - Just had a thought while writing this, would setting the path for the ‘Local Directory’ or wherever it stores their mail to be the same for everyone work?
