OUTLOOK 2003 INSTALLED ON DESKTOP AND LAP TOP

[brandy]

Recently purchased HP lap top. I had Office 2003 loaded on desk top and was
using Outlook for my email. What I noticed in viewing my email from the web
was either there is no mail or only current mail. Since I installed MS
Office on the lap top, either the mail goes to the lap top or the desk top
but not both. Also, each time I launch Outlook on the lap top the
application continues to ask that the license agreement be accepted which I
accept. Also, each time I do this certain boxes are unchecked, for instance
password required as well as leave mail on the server is unchecked.
Hopefully, someone can offer a solution how to fix this. Is uninstalling
from the lap top the answer?

Easiest way to access from either computer is to select "Leave a copy of mail
on server" on at least one of the computers. Then the mail will be available
to download to the main computer. However, if you get the mail first on the
main computer, it will not be available on the other. You can set both to
Leave mail on server, but you must set up a timetable to delete from server
or your server could get clogged. You should not run Outlook on both
computers at the same time.
Your other problem might be because you must activate a retail version of
Outlook on the laptop. If this is an OEM version of Outlook or Office that
came with your desktop, you will not be able to activate on another computer.
