I am using Outlook 2003. I am connected using a POP3 server. I have a
laptop, a computer at home, a computer at work, and a black berry. Currently
when someone sends email, i can only retrieve it at one of the locations. I
recently started using the laptop and office computer, so in the past the
home computer and blackberry reveived all of the messages fine. now I can
only receive on one copmputer. Please help

You are only receiving email at one location, the POP3 server, what happens
is, one or more email programs are downloading the messages, so when the
other programs connect, they are gone. In outlook, tools/email accounts,
there is a checkbox to leave messages on the server, you have to check that.
