    On one of the computers, go to Tools/Accounts and put a check in Leave mail on server. Then the one that you don't do this with will take them off the server and the other one will download them but leave them there for the other PC.

    Actually - do the leave mail on server thing for both computers. That way it won't matter which computer you use first.

    Account Settings is where you should find the leave mail on server option... I don't have the 2010 version of Outlook so I can't help.. Have you search for the setting via the help file?

    In OL 2007 its under Tools > Account Settings, select the account, click Change, click More Settings, select the Advanced tab.

    Not sure if it's the same in OL2010, haven't installed that yet.
