Just received mail on my laptop, can't see it on my desktop. Checked the
send/recv box it searched, nothing showed up on the desktop.

Can you check in your ISPs WebMail and see if the messages are missing
there as well?

If both computers are using the same e-mail address, on both
machines:

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: Leave a
copy of messages on the server.

On one machine, check to Delete messages after X days to assure the
server does not get clogged up.

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.
