what type of email, meaning is it from a company address through your company mail service or some Exchange server or are you using Outlook Express as a vehicle to look at a yahoo/hotmail/comcast/etc account?

It's been a while since I've looked at Express but if your using POP/SMTP connections to your mail server then look the "do not delete mail from server" setting under the account setup area. In Outlook it's under account setup in the advanced setting and allows you to leave mail on the server or remove it only after a number of days.

You'll get a copy of the email on both machines but may want to set it to delete email from teh server after seven or fourteen days.

Sorry, been a long day and I'm not so descriptive at the moment but that should get you started. check the Windows help for "leave mail on server"
