You will have to set up two different shortcut connections on the desktop for him. One would be via the POP3 server's software or Windows dial-up networking and you would need to specify the SMTP and POP3 servers within Outlook Express. Earthlink (www.earthlink.net) has great info for setting up dialup networking to their servers with diagramed pictures and explanations. Look through their dial-up support pages. You will let the server assign an IP address and also have to enter the Primary and Secondary DNS servers under the TCP\IP settings. You will probably need two installations of TCP\IP in the Network applet also.
For your Outlook account, you will use your VPN settings and set up his Outlook Exchange profile but the client willneed to be logged in, not you. Again, create a shortcut for the VPN connection that he uses on the desktop, connect, have him log on to the network and then set up his email profile.
Since he already uses the Outlook Express for his internet mail, there is probably already a shortcut for that already on his system. Are you asking how to set up a VPN connection? I think it would be easier to do this for him since he will be using two different local mail clients, so the settings would have tobe within the email programs.
Please post a comment with more information if this didn't point you in the right direction.
