To do this you must know how to set up  the other computer and you also need to know the name of your incoming mail server (e.g. “pop.yourispname”), your outgoing mail server (e.g. “smtp.yourispname”), your user name (sometimes called the account name) and your password. IMPORTANT: If you’re borrowing a friend’s computer, be sure to back up that computer’s address book before copying your own to it.

You can find all these info by going into Outlook/Outlook Express, then go to Tools/Accounts… and double-click on the name of the mail connection (eg pop.yourispname). Click on the Servers tab. You’ll now be able to see the server names and your account name. Your password is usually saved and input automatically and will be overstruck by a row of dots.

From Outlook/Outlook Express, go to Tools/Accounts… and click on Add/Mail… Depending on the version of Windows you’re using, you’ll either get the usual Account window, or a Wizard that will prompt you for the server and account information.
