outlook for winxp and windows livemail for win7 and provider-webmail-cooperation

[europanorama]

When implentation on both pcs is properly done then emails written in outlook should be displayed in livemail too or not? read somewhere that one must write every new mail to bc:own-email-adress and viceversa. emails written in livemail? shown in outlook
What about the answers?
I am asking since i a away from these pcs now.

If you "send" an email and want a copy on both computers then YES you would want to BCC yourself.

Will the answers only be on the second pc when there is a BCC-mail there?

[SpywareDr]

Yes, you have to tell it what you want it to do with every single email and response on both computers.

You could save yourself all of that grief by simply using the same single web mail account such as Outlook.com or Gmail. Then whatever internet device you're using, there's your email.

We have mails on old providers webmail and OL(pc1) and now livemail on pc2.
we want easy access which was OL maybe will livemail be too.
if my friend would only accept using webmail only. I could make easy access. but if he forgets and uses OL or livemail only without using BCC..... no copy in other pc.
must BCC be used for every single mail or only the first one of a mail-exchange?

If he wants copies of the mails on both pc's - any mail he SENDS must be BCC'd.

[SpywareDr]

If he wants copies of the mails on both pc's - any mail he SENDS must be BCC'd.

Yep, which is a real pain ...

but if he forgets and uses OL or livemail only without using BCC ...

One solution: Uninstall "OL" and "livemail".

Is there an alternative to both outlook(winxp) and livemail(win7) for our winxp and win7-pcs with direct access like outlook express on winxp? we have Firefox. i had thunderbird but was not lucky. maybe they made changes which will make me happy again.

I check the mail online. That way, what ever computer I use, where ever I am, Everything is there.

Must convince a very old man....he will understand. but old stuff is no there anymore.
sorry for the double-thread. maybe should have fused them.
