I have set up gmail as a pop3 account. and I would like to set this computer
to check email but leave the message on the server so I can download to
another computer at a later time. I set it up to leave mail on server under
email accounts under the advanced tab. But when I check email it deletes mail
from the server.

Gmail operates a bit differently than other servers. You need to go into
your gmail settings (actually from gmail, not from Outlook) and configure
the behavior there.

I need a little more help on this. I tried to set my Gmail account but can't
figure out if it will let me do this. I want to check my email and leave the
messages on the server so I can check them again from another computer. what
do I need to set up in Gmail which will allow me to do this? Thank you!
