2 PCs for the same email address

Hello,
I have 2 PCs, a desktop and a laptop, both connected via wifi to my 9box. I have an email address, and sometimes I check my emails on the desktop (using Outlook 2003) and sometimes on the laptop (using Thunderbird), and in the end, I get confused with emails scattered everywhere. Is there a solution to have just one mailbox across my PCs, knowing that I have a drive (via ftp on my 9box)? I can certainly standardize the email software (either all Outlook or all Thunderbird) if part of the solution needs to go that way.
Thanks in advance for a solution
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.16

    Hi

    You can definitely do it, but it mainly depends on your email "provider." If your email box is compatible with the IMAP protocol, you won't have any difficulties synchronizing the two PCs. Your emails will remain on the server and will be synchronized with your PCs each time you connect. This way, you will have all your emails on the mail server, and all the PCs you use will be synchronized with the server.

    Is your email box a 9? or gmail? or something else?

      Hi,

      thank you for your response. My email box is cegetel.net (which has been absorbed by 9). How can I check if it is compatible with the IMAP protocol?

    Hello,

    Cegetel and 9telecom accept both protocols (IMAP and POP)

    See you later

        Since it's absorbed by neuf... try.

        * POP server: pop.neuf.fr
        * SMTP server: smtp.neuf.fr
        * IMAP server: imap.neuf.fr

        By changing the IMAP server address, the same problem occurs, this darn window comes back endlessly???
        I don't see how to get out of this.
