    I am using MSN Mail and MSN Explorer. OS is Win 7 Pro.

    The Inbox and other folders and contents on my laptop and desktop are not identical for messages stored on MSN server.

    Messages that I have deleted on my desktop are still appearing on my laptop.

    How do I correct this?

    Thanks.

    There is a setting for most email accounts to leave "message on server." It's setup that way so you can get mail on more than one device. Just delete them from both computers.

    Thanks for the rapid response.
    I was hoping there was a synchronization function that would take care of the problem.
    I keep some emails on the server but I thought that when I deleted them from the server they were gone. I did not expect them to show up on my laptop.
