I assume that cox cable allows you more than one email account and that you have set up the email account for your Mom. In outlook express go to tools, accounts, properties and look at the info there so you are familiar with what goes where. you will specifically need the pop and smtp server names, your moms account ID and password and the various settings. Then add your Mom as a user on your computer, switch to her account. I've never actually done this, but I think as part of the user setup you will be given the opportunity to use the Internet wizard to set her up with internet and email access. If not go to control panel, internet options, connections, setup. That will put you in the wizard. If you don't want to create Mom as a user, you can user YOUR user account and set up a separate identity in OE by going to file, identities, add new. If you don't want to do that, still in your user account, in OE go to tools, accounts, add. Be sure to check the box to include the account when you send and receive mail. You will probably want to create a new folder for her mail and make a filter to divert her mail to the folder. Don Do YOU want a gmail account invitation?
