can't receive incoming messages from outlook express

[Dave]

You don't receive them from your other computer. You receive your email
from a server, the same server that your other computer accesses. Put the
same server info into Windows Mail, that the other computer has in OE.
If you wish to access the same email account on both computers, you need to
setup both email programs to leave messages on the server...

Tools - Accounts - youraccount - Properties - Advanced
[x] Leave a copy of messages on server
[x] Remove from server after [xx] days

Do this for all accounts on both computers, although you only need to set
one computer to remove after [xx] days.

my new HP laptop has Windows Vista - I can send emails but I cannot receive
any from my main computer that has outlook express. Why not? What is the
problem??
