Thanks N. Miller, After all this good help, I think I've got it - james

When you use a gateway router, email goes only to the computer which
initiated a POP3 mail fetch (assuming you are asking about a POP3 email
account).
It is ok to connect both at the same time; that is the purpose of a
router.
Be sure it is actually a router, not a switch, or your second computer
won't
be able to connect to the Internet (or, if your ISP assigns multiple IP
addresses, you could be billed extra for the second IP address).
If you are trying to keep email synchronized between two computers, MS
Outlook Express can't do that without some trickery, involving leaving
messages on the server. I see that is under discussion...
