    Well it depends on what software you are loading... If you are loading say Outlook Express then your email will not show up on your PC (I.E. 2nd computer) because you will need to setup the e-mail on the software it will not just do it by itself. If you load the software on your laptop and run the setup process to communicate with your email then it will run on you will receive your email through the laptop now unless you go and run the software and run the setup on the 2nd computer then you will not receive email on that 2nd computer. Just because your 2 computers are sharing the internet through your wireless router does not mean that they will work together like I think you are asking...
