Using a desktop and laptop with Windows Live

I use windows live on my desktop and laptop, and I don't like the fact that
when I read and delete a message on one machine it shows up on the other
machine when I open windows live. Is there a way to not have messages show
up again after they have been deleted on the other machine?

Pop3 account?
If so the default setting is to leave messages on server.
Access the email account's properties(Tools/Accounts), the Advanced tab provides 'Delivery' options for message retention(leave)
and deletion(removal) on the remote server.

Is this a POP account? POP accounts don't synchronize.
You would have to switch to an IMAP or Hotmail account.

'Leave a copy' is not checked for the default setting.

Stop storing POP3 e-mail messages on an e-mail server

***By default, your e-mail messages are retained on your e-mail server after you download them with Windows Live Mail.****
Storing e-mail messages on an e-mail server is useful if you have limited disk space on your computer or if you need to read e-mail
from more than one computer. However, most e-mail accounts provide you with a limited amount of space on their server. If you have
a POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3. An e-mail protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a remote server over an Internet connection by
e-mail providers such as Gmail.) e-mail account, you can choose not to retain your e-mail messages on the server, ensuring that you
don't run out of space.

I didn't realize that WLM had a default of Leave a copy setting.
However, the setting is Leave a copy for 5 days.
Is the 5 days also default?
If you did not set a days limit before, is 5 days set when you install WLM?

OE did not Leave a copy by default.

Ron,
Setting up a dummy or valid pop3 account yields:
-Leave a copy of messages on server is checked,
-remove from server after 5 days is not checked(5 is the default days though grayed out since not checked). It also doesn't matter
whether a limit is set prior in another account, 5 is the default on an account creation.
- remove from server when deleted from Deleted Items is checked.

Correct, OE did not leave a copy by default.

I believe the change was user driven - people wanting to get at a recent
emails from Internet cafes, friends computers, fancy fones etc.
