Wondering if anyone else has this problem?

I have my PC and a new laptop... they are not networked, so I set up my POP
email seperate on each. My outlook has worked fine on my PC for over a year.
I just set up my wireless router, for 128 bit encryption, and then set up my
new windows email program on the laptop.

When I try to send mails from one computer to the other.... I have certain
accounts turned on on one and certain ones turned on on the other, some go
through and some don't. I am also repeatedly getting the nter account and
password prompt when I have the info set up in the account..... not to
mention my outlook on the PC has started asking for the same info
occasionally now since I set up the laptop...

ANy help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

It's really important, as well as business related, so I need to figure this
out.

Hi Sheri J,
you can have all your accounts set up on both machines, you simply need to
set each account, on both machines, to "leave a copy of each mail on the
server".
In WM, Tools menu>accounts>select each account in turn>properties>advanced
tab, also set ONE of your machines to delete the mail from the server after
a reasonable number of days.

In Outlook it is on the More Settings>advanced tab of each account.
If you meant OE then it is the same has WM.

The request for credentials sounds like it is related to your ISP Server,
since it is doing it on both programs?

What post?

As far as I know, there is no moderator and no one from Microsoft
still reads this newsgroup. Microsoft is putting most of their email
effort into a newer program, Windows Live Mail:

http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

It has its own newsgroup, with more Microsoft activity:

microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop
