I'm trying to set up two, new Vista PCs with Outlook 2007 -- both accessing
e-mail from a common account. I set up both the same to start but realized
that only one or the other receives any particular e-mail message. I think
the first one to send-receive downloads to hard disk and the Comcast.net
server doesn't download to the second machine. I suspect that some sort of
file sharing needs to be set up.

In any case, any advice how to best configrue two Vista PCs with Outlook
2007?

are you leaving mail on the server? it's a setting under more settings I the
account setup.

i actually had Vista automatically querie and set up the e-mail account
settings and recently repair them. i just went into the account settings;
there's a button in the Data Files tab for Settings (not More Settings), but
that only lets you change the password or compact the data file.
