I have two computers connected via a wireless network and
I would like the Inbox in Outlook on both computers to
recieve all new emails.

The two computers are currently connected to the net
individually via internal dial up modems but will shortly
be changed to broadband through the wireless router.

We would like to be able to get onto either computer and
check the email and be able to read it on the other
computer also.

can anyone help me?

On both computers, configure the email account to leave a copy of
messages on the server. Then, both computers will be able to read
each message.

To prevent messages from filling up your email server, select either
"Remove from server after nn days" or "Remove from server when
deleted from 'Deleted Items'".
