    I'm curious if users have any tips/tricks on how they keep their info on their laptop current with that on the desktop? Right now I only check my mail on the desktop.
    I use gmail, and it seems like the only way to check mail in outlook express is via POP. If I do this, then it wont download at home.

    Any advice on keeping two computer current with mail and bookmarks, appreciate it.

    Set the laptop to not clear the server after downloading.

    Yep, there's a setting to not remove the email messages from the server you're downloading from.
