| With a POP3 account, unless you have otherwise specified in your mail application's preferences, the emails are downloaded to your computer and then deleted from the server... so if you receive an email on one computer, you will not receive it on the other computer.
If your ISP (or whomever offers you the mail account) offers an IMAP account instead of a POP3 account, that will get you what you're looking for -- with a bit of a catch... with an IMAP account, ALL messages are stored on the server, which means that if you DELETE an email from one computer, it will also disappear from the other computer.
Check your mail application's preferences or account settings for something along the lines of "Leave messages on the server after they are downloaded." This will get you what you want.
