Windows Mail - Can't Rec. E-Mails

[maforduk]

Hi,
I have set up a wireless router from my step-father's PC to my mothers laptop.
The internet is working, but when setting up the e-mails, I can only send them but can't receive them from my mother's e-mail address.

When setting up, I used the same log-in details that my step father uses for his isp (internet service provider) so I think the problem is that their using the same details to send and receive even though they are different e-mail addresses.
The isp is Virgin Media.

How can I get the PC and the laptop to have seperate e-mails working?
i.e. get the laptop to receive e-mails on the same ip (internet protocols).

Thanks.

I would suggest a separate e-mail accont for your mother, with her own name, address, password and settings - which would be the same as your father's as far as send and receive adresses. In other words the only difference would be e-mail address , name and password.

Your parents can still access each others mail after downloading, or from their own computers.
