share inbox on 2 computers

I bought a notebook and would like to share my Windows inbox with my desktop
computer. I have the same servers set up on each. My mail opens up on
whichever computer I'm on and is then not visible on the other computer. How
can I link these two?

Thanks,

Re: share inbox on 2 computers

The default is that the first computer to download a specific email
will delete it from the server.

Go to Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties, Advanced.
Near the bottom of that screen, select "Leave a copy..."
Also select one of the two 'remove' options. Do this on both computers.
