Long story, but basically I need to set my boss's computer up with two separate email programs. He uses Outlook 2003 as his main email program on Vista. For the second program, I was going to use Windows Mail (the successor to Outlook Express).

Is there any harm in having both programs open? They would be accessing different email accounts, but from the same server (we do not use Exchange Server - just a Go Daddy account).

I know that there are other solutions available but he is a picky PITA and I would like to stay with MS Products (as much as it kills me).

The purpose of this email client would be to get copies of all of our emails (everyone else who works in the company). Yes, he is that paranoid. The volume would be about 20-100 emails per day per person, many with large attachments (2MB-15MB). I can set up the rules to sort each person's email into a separate folder, I just don't know if having two Microsoft email products running at the same time is a problem.

If it is, any other suggestions?
