Hi Anne! Based on your description I think you must have a POP account. You can verify this by going to Tools --> Accounts... and looking at the name of your email account.
POP by nature downloads mail from the server and then deletes it from the server. This is to save space and help prevent you from going over your allotted quota for space. Pick one of your machines to be your *secondary* machine. It can be either. Then on that Mac go to Tools --> Accounts... and double-click your E-mail account. Under the Options tab select "Leave a copy of each message on the server". UNcheck "Delete messages from the server after ## days". Now, your *primary* machine will download and delete messages but your secondary will only download, leaving your messages on the server for the primary machine to delete. Hope this helps! -- bill William M.
