Not receiving all mail to new account

[geelor]

I had Outlook Express on my old computer. I've created a new account on my
new computer using Windows Mail. I am using POP and SMTP servers with my
RoadRunner account. I am receiving some mail into my new account, but not
everything. When I hook my old computer up, I am still receiving mail in the
old Outlook Express. Shouldn't all mail be available in both places? Do I
need to delete the old account on the old computer? I emailed myself, and 1
mail came through to the new account, the other 3 did not. Auto-generated
replies from online accounts are going to the old mail, and are not coming
through to the new mail account in Vista. Please help. Thank you.

unless you have the account option set to LEAVE MAIL ON SERVER, it gets removed from the server when you receive it.
so you would be unable to receive it on 2 different computers.

Thank you for the reply, mikey. I've changed the account option, so
hopefully it will work.
