I'm guessing that you have your account set up on both machines and
receiving some of your mail on each one.
First note that mail does not GO to OE or WinMail. OE or WinMail Gets it,
but only when it's opened and it asks for it. If you don't open it it never
receives mail.
In both programs you can leave mail on the server for the other machine to
collect. On both machines go to Tools | Options | Advance and check the box
to leave a copy on the server and possibly to delete messages when they are
deleted from Deleted Items. On the machine where it's most important to
have all the mail, also check the box to delete after 5 days.
