SP2

[JoJon]

On my main machine, which uses broadband, I installed SP2 ages ago. but on
my other, which connects via dial up, I've put it off because of the length
of the download. I've tried downloading SP 2 on the broadband machine and
saving it to take it to the other machine but because it's already
installed, it won't let me do this. Is there any way round this?
Also, I want to transfer my email settings. I've exported them from the main
machine in a file but when I try to import them on the other machine, it
will only let me import from another OE account. how do I import the file?
Many thanks
