Does anyone know if I can get the same messages on two computers (desktop and
notebook) when opening mail?
 
Sure, just click

Tools | Accounts...

In the dialog select a mail account and then click Properties. Click the
Advanced tab and check "Leave a copy of messages on server". Optionally you
can choose to have the messages deleted from the server after a certain
number of days or when you delete them from Windows Mail.

Do this on both computers and repeat for any other mail accounts you want to
span the two machines.

Click to expand...

Yes. If you want this, click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email
account,
then Properties, then Advanced. If there is no check mark in the box before
Leave a copy of messages on server, click on this box and then Apply. At
least one of your computers should also enable deleting the messages
eventually,
to keep the server from having so many messages for you that it refuses to
accept more. Click on OK and then Close. Use a similar procedure on the
other computer.
