unable to get incoming mail on new PC with Vista OS.

Have just installed a new PC(Medion 8820) and linked it to my 'old' PC (kept
it for the grandchildren to use!) with a newly purchased wireless router (an
Actiontec 54Mbps cable/DSL router).
Problem:-- I am receiving self-addressed e-mails in the 'old' PC but
nothing on the Medion (with Vista Home Premium OS).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

So both PCs are downloading from the same ISP server mailbox?
Chances are, the first PC that downloads a message will also
delete that message from the server. To ensure that both PCs have
access to the same email, you need to keep email on the server
for a while: Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties, Advanced,
in the Delivery section near the bottom place a checkmark in "Leave
copy of messages on server". Also checkmark one of the two
"Remove..." options.

Be sure to make the change I suggested on *both* PCs.
Hope that works out for you.
