On my laptop I am only getting email for the days I switch it on and go into
windows mail. Like today, I only have mail that I know was sent today. I know
I have email for the 21st and 20th as it is on my main PC. I am using Vista
on the laptop and XP professional on the PC. I would like to know how to
correct this so I get previous days mail on my laptop as well as just
todays.
 
Once your main PC downloads emails, they are removed from
the server unless you tell it otherwise. To change that default action:
Go to Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties, Advanced.
Select the option "Leave a copy of messages on server." Also
select one of the two 'remove' options. Do this on both computers.
 
You need to configure the XP PC email program to leave the messages on the
server after downloading.
To retrieve the same emails on both computers, you need to configure the
Vista computer likewise.

Tools - Accounts - youraccount - Properties - Advanced
[x] Leave a copy of messages on server
[x] Remove from server after xx days
ok
