Email Help required please

Hi,

I could do with some assistance on where I'm going wrong with my email!

I have outlook 2010 (not express) currently installed on my desktop with 2 email address set up (the default which is MrH and mine, MrsH). Now what I am trying to do is set up my email on my laptop only and remove my email from the desktop. I have installed outlook 2010 on the laptop and set up all the pop3 settings etc and checked it's all correct BUT...when I click the send test email, it ends up on my email on the desktop, even if outlook is closed, and i get an error on the laptop "login to server failed"...which has confused me cause it has actually sent the test email.

I'm sure it's something really simple...like maybe I need to remove my desktop email and then sort it out on the laptop (reluctant to do this tho before I'm sure laptop email is working)

Help...what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Help...what I am doing wrong?

Using POP3 is what you are doing wrong, oh and using Outlaw (biased Thunderbird user) you don't say which provider and whether they allow IMAP...a bit more info my allow the rest of the guys to help ...I am going offline very soon

I'm with talktalk...I've tried using imap in the past and had lots of problems with it. I don't want to have it on both machines for me, only my laptop whilst MrH keeps his on the desktop.

Hopefully this might help.
