Email messages disappear in Microsoft Office Outlook

[Guest]

I have Microsoft Office Outlook 2002 on my office desktop computer. I have
Microsoft Outlook 2002 on my laptop. When I hook up the network cable to my
laptop and open up Outlook, I see all my email- some dating back to 2004.
When I re-connect my desktop computer and open Office Outlook and hit
"Send/Receive" button, if new mail comes into the inbox, what was there
before vanishes. I only see any new mail that has come in. But yet if I
re-connect to my laptop I can still see all of my Inbox email. Our server is
off-site.

Your laptop is downloading the mail to a Personal Folders File. You need to
change the default delivery location back to your Mailbox (instead of
Personal Folders File) on your laptop. I don't have an OL2002 machine to
test on but as I recall that would be under Tools | Settings someplace.

After you do that you'll want to open the Personal Folders file and
drag/drop the mail from there back to the Inbox of your mailbox. It's not
as hard as it sounds.
