    I have two email accounts (from the same email service) and two computers. When I log onto either email account, all the messages from both addresses automatically download to Mail on the computer I'm using at the time. Is it possible to set up Mail so that messages from one email account automatically download to one of my computers and from the other account to the other computer?

    This works for Windows Mail and Outlook Express:

    1. In the email program, click on Tools>Accounts
    2. Double click the account you do not want that computer to receive mail from
    3. In the window that opens, on the General tab, uncheck "Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing "
    4. Click OK

    That should do it.

    Or put a check to leave mail on the server on one of the PC's that you want to have it download to on the other one.
