Saving emails on the server for 2 computers

We have two computers connected with a router and both have Windows XP home
edition on them.

Now my desktop I use Outlook Express for emails and I have it set up to save
messages on the server until I delete same. That way I can receive emails
on both computers.

On the laptop I use Microsoft outlook for emails and if I go in and read the
emails they automatically delete them from my server and I cannot retrieve
them on my desktop in Outlook Express.

So. I have tried going into Microsoft outlook on the laptop and gone into,
tools, account settings, data files and then I'm lost on where to go from
there to save messages on the server.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm not too computer literate. Thanks in
advance for any help you can provide.

Go to the email tab, not data files. then highlight the account and click
"Change". Go to More Settings and then the Advanced Tab.
 
Forgot to say I'm using Microsoft Office 2003 on the laptop only Outloook
Express 6 on the desktop and Internet Explorer 7 on both computers.
