using 2 computers and need to have same emails on both

[Big Al]

I have 2 computers - 1 is a laptop - other is desktop. I use laptop when
abroad and leave it there when I go home and work off my desktop. If I read
or send an email on one sytem then when I go to use the other system then
there is no record of emails seen or sent. Can anyone help me be able to
have duplicated emails so I have the same on both systems? Thanks.

Ensure that you have selected to "leave a copy of the messages on the
server" on *all* machines that are accessing the account.
Tools>accounts>your account>properties>advanced tab.
Also on *one* of the machines set a sensible number of days to delete
messages from the server, to avoid your server mailbox from over filling.

Sent items is a different matter, the above will not work for those.

There is no feasible way to sync the Sent Items folder for a POP account.
You would have to switch to a HTTP or IMAP account.

This program will do it, and much more.

I'm not familiar with the OEX program. Although the introductory blurb
does mention "synchronize message stores between computers", no
example is given of how that is done. I have my doubts that it could
do so on a live/automatic basis, which is what the plain meaning of
'sync' implies.
