Networking emails

Posted 26 February 2007 - 04:00 AM

I am running a small cable network using a Netgear DG834 ADSL router connected to a normal phone line via filter. While it works OK for internet, all emails despite having a unique addresses and being configured on the specific computers are displayed and can be open on all computers on the network. Is there way to subnet this type of router to allow specific emails to be channelled to the appropriate computer or would a DSL router be a better option.

If you have 2 computers shareing one internet account and both computers are set up for the same email account then they will both get the same email.

I would suggest using 2 separate email accounts or if both computer need to use the same email account set them both to leave a copy of the message on the server until they are deleted.


If you have 2 email accounts already check the configuration of each computers email program and ensure that the only account on each computer is the one for that perticular computer.

Are they both mapped to the same PST file?

No amount of hardware will route email in that fashion. Unless you are using a exchange server. Either that or I have no idea what you are trying to do

Thanks for your comments.
I have 1 IP Account, as above connected through ASDL router
I have structured 4 email addresses 1 for each computer.
I have configured each computer with its dedicated email address (Outlook Express)
I require each computer to ONLY receive its own dedicated emails.
