I don't know where you're seeing that unless it's an IMAP account, in which
case ignore everything I said.
Open the program (Outlook Express or Windows Mail).
Click Tools.
Click Accounts.
Click the account.
Click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the box for "Leave a copy oc messages on the server".
Click both of the orher boxes and then make sure that you check email on
both machines at least every five days.
