Could anybody please tell me how I can use the same identity in outlook
express when my laptop top is connected to my server or when I am off site
with it , as at the moment I cannot see any emails I received when connected
to the server when I am not in the office & visa versa

Tiny

The only way to do that is to make the laptop a "clone" of the Desktop
machine. For how to clone Outlook Express on two machines, see the info at
this link:
http://www.insideoe.com/backup/bu_full.htm

And, any changes to the Desktop setup, such as adding/deleting local
folders, or adding/deleting a newsgroup subscription will require a
"Re-cloning" of the laptop. It's not too much work but it can become a PITA
trying to keep two machines in sync. Do you really have to do this? Why
not just copy the desired messages to a Transfer folder for this purpose?
If you want to try that, see the info in the last paragraph at this link for
details:

thanks Jim but I am only using the laptop I don't use A desktop machine as
well I have tried using a file to transfer the messages to but it doesn't
work that well.
I have to keep transferring messages back & forth constantly as I can be
connected to the domain for 2hrs in the morning then go on site then back
on the domain
so I have to keep transferring messages both ways 3 or 4 times a day.
What I need to do is be able to use the same identity when I am connected to
the domain or standalone on site ,most of my messages are cad drawings or
pictures which I need to be able to access all the time for working on &
sending back to clients

When in the office you connect through a domain and use one Identity.
On the site, you connect ???????? and use another Identity.
So why aren't you using the same message store for both Identities?

In your OE go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and write down
where OE is storing its data.
Close OE.
Open Windows Explorer.
* click Tools | Folder Options | View
and set it to Show hidden files and folders.
Go to your store folder and copy all of the DBX files to an empty Windows
folder. Make sure you include Folders.dbx.
Close Windows Explorer and start the other *Identity*.
Go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and write down the path
to the data,
Click Change
IMPORTANT WARNING: For the next two steps decline any offer to move the
files or folders or messages.
Enter the other store folder path and click Okay.
Close OE.
Reopen it and answer 'No' to an offer to move things.
Go back to the first OE and Choose File | Import | Messages and import from
the other store directory.

Well, cloning (same identity on two machines) is not that difficult. Did
you even read how to do it at the website I posted? There are only 4 keys
involved that need to exported. If you're unwilling to do it, then I don't
know of another way that would work.

The only thing to remember is that any change to the primary account will
have to be copied/merged into the registry of the cloned machine to keep
everything happy. Other than that, it works quite well. Good luck.

Also, another trick that works for many is just to set both accounts to
leave a copy of messages on the server (deleting them after 'xx' days so
they don't accumulate) and then just download them to both machine on a
regular basis. (Tools/Accounts - Mail tab, double click the desired
account, look on the Advanced tab at the bottom of the page.)
