Have three computers two laptops and an Asus minipad with touchscreen. The laptops run Win7 and Outlook 2003, the minipad runs Win8 and Outlook whatever came with it.
Have my 5 email addresses on the two laptops and one of the 5 addresses is on the minipad.
I thought that all the mail would download to all the computers all the time. Not so. Some mail goes to one laptop some mail goes to the other lap top and some mail goes to the minipad. And some mail goes to all.
Talked to Time-Warner, the said it was an Outlook problem. Called the nice man at Microsoft and he said the Outlook 2003 was the problem and it was not supported. I told him I owned 2007 and could we pretend we were talking about 2007 and he said no.
I told him at least we could do is talk about the Outlook on the minipad and he said call Asus.
They aren’t answering.
Is there someplace I can go on Outlook 2003 and make all the mail go to all the computers all of the time?
I apologize, this is convoluted.
Where do you tell it to do that?? By reinstalling Outlook. Because when I reinstall outlook, I lose the files, been down that road.

I am so sorry, I think I overstepped. I just copied the above from one of my pings on my page.
I have all the addresses already set up. Not a problem there.
Funny! Thank you, need some relief after this day.
Not that familiar with Outlook, but ‘delete from server’ will probably be a checkbox in the Options (under Tools?).
Most email programs give that option —
If it is checked, emails are deleted after being read. If it is not checked, they remain on the server, even though you ‘delete’ them in your email reader.
Says in options, email expires in (blank) days and the default is 180. That wouldn’t be email in my files would it. Afraid to set it. Do not want to lose files.

In Outlook 2003 - go to Tools / Email Accounts / View or Change Existing Accounts. Select the account you use, then click Change / MoreSettings / Advanced. On that screen check "leave a copy of messages on the server". Click OK to save the change.
He called us an ass?!!
What a jerk!
Found it, thank you everyone!
Outlook 2003 (Windows)
From the Tools menu, open E-mail Accounts
Select “View or change existing e-mail accounts” and click Next
Double click on your LMi mail account, then click the More Settings button
Click the Advanced tab
Uncheck “Leave a copy of messages on the server”
Click OK, then Next, then Finish
Thank you!
