Re: Outlook Express on Two Computers

Pop,
I set my desktop computer in Outlook Express,Tools, Accounts, Mail
Properties to leave messages on the server but when I check Outlook Express
inbox from my laptop what ever I have on my desktop does not appear on my
laptop. I even sent myself a test message and it did not appear. What am I
missing in your reply to Sandy?.

Is there a way to see the same downloaded messages on both computers?
I have OE setup on the laptop, using the same address as on the
desktop. When I read my messages on the laptop, then go to the desktop,
the
same messages are not available.

Please give suggestions as what to do and how to do it or if its even
possible at all!!

Thanks so much..........
Sandy

In Outlook Express's Tools, Accounts, you can set OE to leave the messages
on the server, delete them, or delete them after a certain number of days.
You appear to have yours set to delete the messages and thus they aren't
available any longer to the other computer when you try to read them.

I have my laptop set up to not delete messages from the server, ever.
Then, my desktop deletes messages after 7 days. So, a little balancing
act like that usually makes things work out pretty well.

If you need more specifics, just come back and ask.
