I have a Dell desktop and a Toshiba wireless laptop both running Vista and
when I check Windows Mail, the same message does not always appear on both
computers. For instance, if I check the Toshiba, open an e-mail, that same
e-mail will not show up on the Dell so I have to send it to myself, shut down
the Toshiba and open it up on the Dell. Or if I reply to an e-mail on the
Toshiba, it will not show up on the Dell under "Sent". ???
 
Sent messages will only show on the machine it was sent from.

For incoming, I believe only one machine has "Leave a copy" checked.

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 satisfy your
allotted space you get from your server.
 
You were right. I had only 1 machine with "Leave a copy" checked. But when I
corrected this on the Dell, the first incoming e-mail showed up in duplicate
(same e-mail one after the other).

Did you only get dupes on the one machine? If so, it may just be going
through a correction.

I only received duplicates on the one machine (Dell) and none on the other
at all. Weird!

So I sent a message to myself on the Toshiba. It appeared in duplicate on the
Dell. Two other incoming messages appeared in duplicate on the Dell. When I
opened the Toshiba, I received the original message I had sent to myself and
only 1 copy of the two other messages received in duplicate on the Dell. I
have 2 e-mail addresses on the Dell, one being the default. Could this be
causing the problem? The Toshiba sports only the 1 address.

Yes, those two email addresses on your Dell may not be as independent
as you think. Are they from the same provider? When you go to the
Servers tab under the account properties, are the usernames the same
or different?

Guess what? After I deleted one of the email addresses from the same service
provider on the Dell, the problem disappeared. Thanks for all the help.
Everything seems to work as it should.
