I have just connected my laptop to my wireless network at home. I have the same email, so why don't I get my email on both computers?

Hi, The answer to your question is, the e-mail address is still the same. It will not be on your laptop because your laptop is looking at your desk top. You are using a spy glass to look at the other computer that's why you can only do so much with the laptop. The lap has it's own programs but for getting to the internet you are using the router. I hope you can understand the way this works with this explanation.

What I think the issue here may be, though you don't give us much to go on, is that when you retrieve your e-mail on one PC it erases it from the server. So when you go to the other PC its no longer there to retrieve. If you want to see the same mails on both, you need to adjust your account settings to leave mail on the server.

What e-mail client do you use?
