Picking up home computer email on laptop

I just got a new laptop and would like to receive my email from my desktop on
my laptop. Basically I would like the two computers to reconcile. Is that
possible? I thought I set it up correctly but when I send email from the
laptop, I receive it on my desktop with the same email address but I don't
receive it on my laptop and vice versa. Ironically, the email address is the
same. Please, please help.

If both computers are using the same e-mail address, on both machines:

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: Leave a copy of
messages on the server.

On one machine onle, check to Delete messages after X days to assure the
server does not get clogged up.
