As the administrator i set up mail no problem, I have 2 other users who also
need to access the same mail. I set up mail under their logins and now when
mail is sent or received it only stays in the sent or inbox of the active
user at the time the mail was sent/received. Can anybody assist with this
problem please?
 
If you are dealing with a POP account, only the computer actually
doing the sending will get a copy in its Sent Items folder. Also, by
default, whichever computer completes its email download first will
make those emails unavailable to other PCs. To fix that latter problem,
go to Tools, Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Advanced,
enable "Leave a copy of messages on server."
Repeat the above on the other computers.

True syncing of emails, where all computers checking the same
account will have access to all mail folders, is only possible with IMAP
or HTTP mail accounts.
 
Thank you very much Gary, much appreciated. Your information has certainly
solved my problem with mail in the inbox and I understand that there is no
solution to the "sent" problem given that my account is a POP account. Again
thanks for your help and I hope you have a great day. Best regards, Mark :)
