Using Windows Live and Mac Mail on Separate Computers

I use Mail on my Mac desktop and Windows Mail on my laptop PC. My ISP is
Comcast.

When I download an e-mail message from Comcast via Windows Mail, I can't
download it via Mail on my Mac. And when I checked my Comcast account
online, my online inbox had zero messages.

Before I began using Windows Mail, my incoming e-mail messages were saved on
Comcast's server for the period I specified in my preferences in the Comcast
account.

If I don't open Windows Mail, then everything seems to work the way it did
before I started with Windows Mail--i.e., I could download e-mail messages
via Mac Mail, and the messages remained on the Comcast server.

Is there something wrong with the way I am using Windows Mail? Is this an
issue with Comcast?

Help!!!
 
By default, Windows Mail will delete POP messages from the server
after downloading them. To change that default, go to Tools,
Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Advanced,
select "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.
