How to save incoming e-mail directly on the server using Outlook Express

Hi
I am using Outlook Express (shipped with IE 5.0).I am having a network supported by an NT domain server.
I need to do the following;
I am downloading my mails from one of the PC's on the network, however I would like to store the incoming mails on a common folder on the NT server for accessibility to other PC's outlook express users on the Network so that each user has access to the incoming mails.Is this possible or an alternate solution to this problem would be appreciated.

Thanx

You have to use Regedit to change the path used to store your messages. Change the Store Root value in this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\<Identity GUID>\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0
Where do I need to do this .. on the client PC or the domain NT server.PLease explain in detail

On the client PCs. Each one stores the path to the files individually.
Are you getting your mail from an Exchange server, and do you have Outlook 98 or higher available.

If so, you might wnat to establish a "Public Folder" on the exchange server.  This could contain any email you wish to post there for others, and you could designate access permissions for the public folder.
