sharing e-mail from laptop and desktop

Hello
I have set on both computers my private and my business email accounts and i
am now able to get my e-mail on both conmputers. But i was wandering if it is
possible to share the e-mail that i download from the server on my desktop
with the email on my laptop. Because now i have to switch computers for
responding and i haven't got any overview of the emails i get. On my desktop
i use microsoft outlook office and on the laptop i use windows mail.

With a POP account, all you can do is share incoming emails. It is
not possible to share sent emails (but you can BCC-copy yourself
on every outgoing email).
If both computers are checking the same email account, whichever
one completes its email download first will make those emails
unavailable to the second PC. To fix that problem, in Windows Mail
go to Tools, Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Advanced,
enable "Leave a copy of messages on server." Depending on how
much server space your ISP allows, you may want to select one or
both of the two associated 'remove' options.

Repeat the above on the second computer. I can't tell you the exact steps
for doing the same on Outlook.
