email retrieval

[VernCA]

I use Outlook Express on another laptop, Windows Mail on this one. If I pick
up mail from my Comcast account first with the Outlook laptop, it won't pick
up with this one. Vice versa, this one first, then Outlook, both pick up.
Is there an option somewhere to make that work both ways, so mail is
available to both regardless of which picks up first?

Thanks

Yes. Configure both to leave the email messages on the server after
downloading.
In Windows Mail
Tools - Accounts - youraccount - Properties - Advanced
[x] Leave a copy of messages on server
[x] Remove from server after [xx] days

OE is changed the same way. You only need to set one to remove after xx
days.
