What type of account are you using POP or IMAP, because it depends on it. Iftikhar Ahmad Brainbench MVP for Windows 95 www.brainbench.com

Any time you download a message in outlook, that message only exists on the computer you downloaded it into. You can make the messages available on both computers by going into your advanced account properties... Tools -> Email Accounts -> Change -> More Settings -> Advanced Then check "leave a copy of messages on server" and your choice of the two other options... make sure you check at least one of the secondary options, as otherwise your web email box will fill up in no time at all.
