Just putting together a 3 station (2 PC's, 1 laptop) wireless
network, all using a single broadband connection. Main PC for me,
second PC for my wife, and laptop for either of us.
Problem is that for OE6 I have set up two accounts, one for me (Bob)
and another for my wife (Margaret). I then deleted her account
(Margaret@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)from my PC, leaving only mine
(Robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
On her PC, I did the opposite, leaving one account - hers.
Doesn't work - I still get Emails for both of us - and she seems to
get a random selection, mostly mine ! By the way, 90% of the time my
machine is the only one in use.
So far I've not tried to connect the laptop, as I want to iron out the
system on the 2 PC's first.
What am I doing wrong ?
Courtesy of PA Bear - Use Message Rules to filter your mail where the two addresses are aliases for the same mailbox. (As they will be if you're with Freeserve as I am.)
E.g., Me@xxxxxxx and You@xxxxxxx are aliases for one mailbox. In the Identity associated with Me@xxxxxxx, on YOUR machine, create a Message Rule stating, "Where To contains You@xxxxxxx, Do not download it from the server and Stop processing more rules" (The last phrase is important!) and place this rule at the very top of the list.
Then create a similar rule for the Identity associated with You@xxxxxxx, on your WIFE's machine, directing any messages addressed to Me@xxxxxxx to not be downloaded from the server.
All should then be well.
