Store OE folders on network drive?

I have a LinkStation connected to my home network, with it set to share to
every computer which wishes to connect to it.

The plan is to store my news / mail in one central place so every computer
at home has access to my inbox.

I can connect to the linkstation and read / store files on it no problems.

When I go to 'store folder' in OE i can navigate to the NAS but the 'ok'
button remains greyed out, no matter what I do.

Any ideas? Does OE allow you to store messages remotely??

Try mapping the network drive to a local drive.

I think OE goes loopy when you try and do this over a network, with
"interesting" errors if two machines are trying to access it at the same time.

A better idea might be to see if you ISP allows IMAP access to your mail, and
use that on each machine instead. That doesn't solve your news sharing, but
some better clients (like Agent and Thunderbird) seem to cope with shared
network data files.

Failing all that, have your OE set up on one machine, and VNC to it from the
others?
