not receiving all my E mails

I have had a desk top with Windows XP and Outlook Express and recently set up
a laptop with Vista and Microsoft Mail . I set them up with the exact same
Email account. I can send Email from either computer but in-coming mail only
goes to one computer OR the other (usually to the desktop). THANKS FOR ANY
HELP.

Ensure that you set 'one' of the machines to delete messages from the
server, after a reasonable number of days.

Or you will end up with a full server side inbox, that will result in
rejected new mail bounces being sent back to your senders. "mail box full".

Be warned!!
