That's the problem. Your laptop is downloading your mail to a Personal
Folders file which removes it from the mailbox. Change the laptop's default
delivery location to the Mailbox. You'll probably have to drag/drop your
messages from the Personal Folders file to the corresponding folder(s) on
the Mailbox after you do that.
