Is there any way i can receive the same Emails on my Desktop and Laptop using
OE on my Desktop with Windows XP and WM on my Laptop with Vista. I want to be
able to use the same email account at home and away from home. Can I download
Windows Mail on my Desktop or OE on my laptop??? There has to be some way to
receive them without having to go through the process of saving them...

Please help,
Thankyou

Yes. On both computers, set the account to leave messages on the server, but
set them to be deleted after 10 days or so.

You mean the programs? No & no. Although you can down load the new Windows
Live Mail program to both.

OE can't be installed on Vista, and Windows Mail can't be installed on XP.
However, you can download the same mail on both computers.
In the mail program, go to Tools, Accounts, select the account,
Properties, Advanced, checkmark "Leave a copy ..."
While there, also checkmark "Remove from server after X days",
where X is the longest expected interval between checking mail on
both computers. Make these changes on both computers.
