Connect New Laptop to Desktop E-mail

Hello,
My desktop computer runs XP and is connected to outlook e-mail. My new
laptop runs Vista and is connected via wireless to my desktop machine. How
can I get the laptop connected to the e-mail? Thanks. Allan

Set up the same mail account on your laptop.
However, if both computers are checking the same email account,
whichever one completes its email download first will make those
emails unavailable to the second PC. To fix that problem, go to
Tools, Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Advanced,
enable "Leave a copy of messages on server."
Repeat the above on the second computer. The menu path is the
same for Windows Mail and Outlook Express, but is likely to be a
little different for Outlook.
