e-mail on a wireless network

[Lou]

Recently I connected two computers in my home over a
LINKSYS wireless network. After some head scratching the
network is working well, however I've discovered that if
I access e-mail on one of the computers that e-mail is
not visible on the other computer. In addition, e-mails
in the 2 computer's inboxes, deleted items, etc. are not
the same. Is there a way to synchronize Outlook on both
computers such that the inboxes, deleted items, etc. are
the same and if an e-mail is opened on one computer it is
also available on the other; i.e. sort of like shared
folders. I'm using XP professional and Outlook 2002.

it sounds like you are accessing the same mailbox using two Outlook's an not
leaving the mail on the server.

In the email accounts properties (More Settings button) set Outlook to leave
mail on the server and choose the options to delete when you delete the
messages locally or after xx days.
