Francis,
Before I retired, I often forwarded messages to myself from my work computer
so that I would have them on my computer at home. I don't know about the
options on your email program under Vista, but I'll tell you how I did it
using Outlook Express. Under the Send tab in the Options dialog on the
Tools menu, I unchecked Send messages immediately. Doing this allowed me to
place messages in the Out Box with Alt+s ready to be sent when I pressed
Control+m. However, if I tried to send a message to myself with Control+m,
it would just come back to the same computer. To prevent this, I would
always exit Outlook Express and answer Yes to the prompt that asked if I
wanted to send the messages in my Out Box. I would then be able to get the
messages when I got home. If you can do something similar on your Vista
laptop, it should get the job done
There is also an email option that you could set on one of your computers to
leave a copy of your email on the server. Each time you downloaded messages
using that computer, the same messages would remain available to be
downloaded on your other machine. This could make it unnecessary to forward
messages from one computer to another, but you would have to delete your
junk mail twice!
