Vista - Not receiving all email

08-22-2009

Desktop with Vista using Windows Mail, laptop with XP using Outlook Express,
router with wireless connection. Desktop ON, laptop OFF....send/receive
numerous times per day...some messages come in. Evening, desktop OFF, laptop
ON, check messages, and many messages come in, some sent very early in the
day, and throughout the day, but they never came in to Windows Mail. Various
senders, and none of them Junk or Spam, some with attachments, some without,
but all from contacts in both Vista Address Book and WinXP address book.
Some messages from a particular sender will come into Windows Mail, and
others will not. Nothing in "Options" seems to address this. Ideas?

Unless you set mail to remain on the mail server on BOTH computers, you will
get the effect that you have now.

To set this up, go to the ADVANCED tab in mail setup and check boxes as
necessary..
