Trick question right?

POP mail accounts download all email to the individual system. All you
really need to do is configure Outlook Express to use locations that are
stored in the roaming profile, which is not generally the default
behavior. Go to Micosoft.com and search roaming profiles.

As for the trick question part...Linux users would not recommend use of
Outlook Express.
