Re: Verizon Email on two computers
It might be redundant maintenance, but is not bothersome enough to implement Windows Mail on a NAS.
The incoming shared email stream is typically dealt with by 2 people who share office duties, essentially the third person is FYI. Since the two work together, most of the time seamlessly, hitting the delete key is not that big of a deal. If our email stream was more than the dozen or so in a busy day, we would implement some other solution.
For individual business, all three of us have separate addresses. The common address is used for shared communication.
Not sure exactly what the OP wants to accomplish. Most likely it's a desktop/laptop scenario with one user either in the office or on the road.
I have an email account that I have setup in the same way. My purpose is to receive email for a single user, but sometimes the email is intended for use on a Mac, other times on a PC. Again, I don't have enough volume to worry about the extra work of deleting what is redundant. What the heck, it's just a key press. |

"Implementation" is simply having a shared folder on a computer (or NAS) that is accessible to the other computers on the network and having Windows Mail on each computer use the files in the shared folder. Doesn't get much simpler than that - and for me, a lot easier than having to sift through emails that I've already sifted through (as well as having consistently available Sent, Trash and other email boxes). Of course, you need to have a NAS (which are pretty cheap these days) or a computer that provides the file server functionlity. I bet most of us have an older computer lying around these days that can be used as the server. |
