You need to leave the mail on both servers, otherwise if the 'primary'
machine downloads first, it will delete the mail before it gets into
the secondary machine.
I would set both machines up to leave on server for 30 days. This will
give both machines a chance to get the mail form the server before one
of them deletes it.

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!

HI all,
I so would appreciate any help that you can give me.
First things I am not the most computer savvy person, so if any of
you chose
to help me out please use simple language.
It was recommend by Microsoft that I ask you all for help, because my
version of Entourage has been retired and therefore they refuse to
help me.
Here is the problem....
I have had the same email address for many years and used the same
computer
to retrieve my mail etc. (MAC IBOOK) I was given a Mac desk top
so I took
my laptop to work where is now lives. I downloaded from my
original disk
the same Entourage into the new computer and have the same email
address.
What is so weird is that I get some of my email on the original
computer and
some on the new computer with no duplicates and sometimes from the
same
sender.
For example, some time ago I received and email from a friend and
it came
the new computer. Today I received and email from her on the old
computer.
Another example, I am a member of professional listserves and I
get the
emails on the old computer and the new, but they are not the same
ones.
I have fiddled with settings both computers to make sure they
identical, but
when I change one it tell me I cannot receive mail at all.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Please send the response back channel if you don’t mind.
Thanks again.
