I have 2 PCs both using Outlook Express. I would like the emails to be
replicated on each. Is there a way of doing this at all - preferrably
without any manual intervention?

You can have all users/PCs download all message from a POP3 mail server by selecting
Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced, Leave a copy of messages on the server in all
users/PCs. One or more of the users/PCs should be set to delete messages from the server
after a few days or else the server mail account will eventually fill. However, Sent
messages will only be saved on the sending user/PC.

If your ISP offers IMAP mail server access, that is the way to go. IMAP is designed for a
single mail account to be shared by multiple PCs. The IMAP mail is managed at the mail
server.

I use the Mercury Mail MTA. Run it on one computer. Configure it to access
your POP3 email server. Configure it to run the IMAP4 server. Configure
MSOE to access that IMAP4 server.
