Vista - Maintaining multiple mail accounts

I set up windows mail for a laptop, but I would like to maintain my old mail
accounts on my desktop. Right now, all mail was emptied from my desktop and
sent to windows mail on the laptop. How do I maintain access to both?

Open the email account in Windows Mail and configure it to leave messages on the server.

You're welcome..
The same location(Advanced tab) has an option to delete after 'x' number of
days. That option can be very handy if one receives a high quantity of mail
or large attachments that could impact the limits of an isp's provided email
account maximum size.
