Leaving Mail on
Server
If you have two or more machines configured with the same e-mail address (i.e. Home and
Work), you can configure your e-mail program to leave a copy of your messages on the
server to be retrieved at a different location. There are a few notes however:
One machine becomes the Master computer.
- You want this to be the machine you use most of the time.
- This is the machine that will receive all e-mail messages, including those that have
been opened by the slave(s).
- Once you open messages on this machine, you cannot retrieve them anywhere else.
- You do not configure this machine with the instructions below.
The other machine(s) become the Slave(s).
- Slave machine(s) will only receive messages that haven't been downloaded at the
master location.
- When you retrieve messages on slave machine(s), a copy of those messages is left at the
server to be retrieved later by the master.
- Use the following instructions for slave machine(s):
Outlook Express
- Click on Tools on your menu bar.
- Click on Accounts...
- Click the Mail tab.
- Select your e-mail account, or if there's only one listed click on Properties.

bottom of the window.

- Click OK.
