Thanks for the info, most useful

The POP3 option is something I will investigate, however a potential problem is that as soon as the PC downloads them they will not be available to the other 2 laptops on the network. It could work, just have to ask Mrs Oggin not to turn on the PC if she wants to browse emails via the laptop. The PC automatically accesses the email server every 15 minutes, although this can obviously be turned off.

The mail2web thing also looks interesting, however it is no different than accessing my email account directly via the web based route already available. Your link didnt work, however it can be found here. no 3 x w in the address.

What I need is to be able to download the emails onto any of the 3 computers, then be able to share them all with the other 2, such that when this is done all 3 computers have the same info. I can sync my inbox with my iPAQ, so can I sync PC inbox to Laptop inbox to Laptop inbox (all on the same workgroup on the WLAN)?

Anyone any info ??

Cheers

Oggin

<edit> p.s. Just thought - I could use remote desktop but I had it working once, then it didnt, then it did, then it didnt - not very reliable and it didnt like firewalls etc If someone could describe a good way to get this working I might try it again.
