TSGL: Outlook Express/Windows Mail

[Anthony Shearman]

Hi H

Luckily the ISP allocates a gig for storage so that is not a problem and as 
you point out, mail has to be deleted on a regular basis.
The answer for the PCs is to make sure they download incoming mail on a 
daily basis to ensure they are both up-to-date.

Many thanks for your comments

Anthony
