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.

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 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?

You are downloading the same message from the server. I don't think it
should be classified as a copy, but it is probably semantics anyway.
