Outlook mail on 2 computers

[Bons]

Hi! I see by looking at some other posts that I have set up my lap top and
my husband's lap top to recieve email correctly...........and it's working
great except that there are certain emails that ONLY go to one computer and
not the other.... We both have Vista and i have OL 2007 and he has 2003.....
MOST of the emails can be retrieved in both places, but a few cannot---any
ideas? Am thinking of just taking out the email setup on his OL and have him
use Windows Mail....is that the simplest solution? He basically just uses OL
for his calendar anyway...... just curious. Thanks!!

Which mail account type are you using? If POP3, make sure you have the
option set to leave a copy on the server.

Yes, it is Pop3 and I've got both 'puters set to leave a copy on the server.
The thing that is the most vexing is the fact that MOST of the mail comes
through on both----it's only SOME I miss----and that's really almost worse
than not getting any---
