Testing. Original reply not visible to me.

I presume this (downloading same messages onto more thanone computer) is
possible if only COPIES are downloaded from the server.

In my case when I download the messages are off the server. I think this
is a matter of settings, which would chime with the above.

Is my supposition correct?

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

I usually use my wireless notebook for my home computer needs, including
Outlook Express 6.0 email. However, there are times when I use my
desktop,
either because of the need to use the attached printer, it is already
on,
etc. Why are emails saved only on the computer the emails were
downloaded
and on the other one using the same account? Would this happen if I read
my
OE6 emails on a computer other than my own two, i.e. at a another site,
daughters PC, etc.?

Thank you.
