two versions of outlook on two separate computers

[Guest]

I have Outlook 2000 on my pc and Outlook 2003 on my laptop. However, I only
receive a few emails on the laptop. If I send a message from the laptop, the
response usually appears on the PC. Any suggestions?

What's the question or problem?

Kiki,
You need to go into the account(s) settings in Outlook for each machine,
having already set up the same accounts on both PC's.

In Outlook2003 its:
Open Outlook> Tools> Email Accounts> View or Change Mail accts> Select on
Mail acct at a time> Change button> More Settings button> Advance tab>
Select to Leave messages on server> APPLY/OK.
Select Delete messages from server after XX days. Do this only on one PC or
laptop.
Repeat that for every acct.

I don't have Outlook2000 set up on my PC anymore, but there is a similar way
to get to get to the "Advance tab", in Outlook2000, to set to leave messages
on the server. Repeat that for each Mail account in the Outlook2000
application.

Now you have a choice to make, you will need enable deletion of messages on
the server after so many days. Or your mailbox on the server will become
full, and that mail address will longer be able to receive new messages.
