I have two computers at home. I'm sharing files, but I would like to be able
to send and receive all emails on both computers. Sometimes an email that is
sent to me IS received on my second computer, but not always. I can send
emails using the second computer. I would like all emails received to go to
both computers. Is this possible, and why would a few emails be received by
the second computer?
 
Given this set-up it probably depends on which computer gets there first -
the one that gets there first downloads the email and then deletes it from
the server. There's really no clean or elegant way to stop this since the
alternative would be to set up both PCs to download messages but not delete
them - in that case you'd keep reading the same mail over and over with only
a few new messages tacked on at the end.

This may be a shot in the dark as i haven't tried it... but I presume you
wouldn't have both email clients up at the same time.

If it is possible, put your email store (outlook.pst) in a shared folder and
have both your email clients pointed to the same store, that is the only way
that I could think it might work.

Any pros, please feel free to weight in on the possibility of doing this.
