how do I get email to appear on both computers

[Guest]

when I receive my emails it only ever appears on the computer I'm using. It
doesn't automatically come up on both. I have the same email address and my
laptop is wireless and networked to the desktop.

Set your e-mail program to "Leave Msgs on Server" and set the time period
for 3-5 days...works great for me.

Are you receiving from a POP3 (Internet) mail server? I'm guessing that each
machine is removing the mail when it downloads it. You can have one machine
leave mail on the server so that at least one machine has all the messages.

Thanks for your reply... I have POP3 I think... If i receive mail on the
desktop it stays on the desktop and vice versa with the laptop but each email
only appears on the computer I send/receive on, not on both. Sorry if I'm not
explaining it too well

As another poster mentioned, you need to set the account to Leave Messages
on Server on one of the machine. Go to the Tools menu > Email accounts >
View/Change accounts > Click Next > Highlight your account > Click Change >
Advanced (or Other... I forget the button label)
